Onward, Upward, Homeward

Verse 1

“Onward, upward, homeward!” Joyfully I flee From this world of sorrow, With my Lord to be: Onward to the glory; Upward to the prize; Homeward to the mansions Far above the skies.

Chorus

Onward to the glory! Upward to the prize! Homeward to the mansions Far above the skies!

Verse 2

“Onward, upward, homeward!” Here I find no rest; Treading o’er the desert Which my Saviour pressed. Onward, upward, homeward! I shall soon be there; Soon its joys and pleasures I, through grace, shall share.

Verse 3

“Onward, upward, homeward!” Come along with me; Ye who love the Saviour, Bear me company, Onward, upward, homeward! Press with vigour on; Yet a little moment, And the race is won.
