The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1952

1952. Going On

1. The fires of the sun shall be quenched at last,
And the steadfast stars be gone;
But souls of the ransomed shall live in strength,
And they still shall be going on.

Refrain
Going on, going on,
They still shall be going on;
Forever and aye, through eternal day,
They still shall be going on.

2. As souls that remember and feel and thrill,
We shall live when seas are dry;
As separate beings, to love and will,
We shall live, nevermore to die. [Refrain]

3. From glory to glory our path shall be,
And from grace to perfect grace;
Through all the wide years of eternity,
We shall look on our dear Lord’s face.
Going on, going on,
We still shall be going on;
Forever and aye, through eternal day,
We still shall be going on.
