Onward! Onward!

Robert Bruce • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 12:2

Verse 1

Onward, onward, looking unto Jesus, Casting quickly every weight aside; While we run the race that’s set before us, Firm as a rock let our faith abide.

Chorus

Lo, a cloud of witnesses behold us, They through faith were victors in the race; Let us gladly follow their example, Trusting the Savior for strength and grace.

Verse 2

Onward, onward, looking unto Jesus, Pressing forward, we the race will run; Claiming ever His divine protection, We shall not fail till the crown is won.

Chorus

Lo, a cloud of witnesses behold us, They through faith were victors in the race; Let us gladly follow their example, Trusting the Savior for strength and grace.

Verse 3

Onward, onward, looking unto Jesus, Joy awaits us on the other shore; There we’ll sing the song of our redemption, Safe, safe at last when the strife is o’er.

Chorus

Lo, a cloud of witnesses behold us, They through faith were victors in the race; Let us gladly follow their example, Trusting the Savior for strength and grace.
