Pearls of Praise ‎#6

6. Speed Thee On

1 Oh, speed thee on the heav’nly way,
And to thine armor cling;
With girded loins the call obey,
The call of Christ, the King.

Refrain:
Speed thee on, speed thee on,
Trust in God and flee from sin;
We’ll strive by faith to gain a crown,
A home in heav’n to win.

2 There is a battle to be fought,
An upward race to run;
A crown of glory to be sought,
A vict’ry to be won. [Refrain]

3 Oh, faint not, for thy prayer and sighs
Are heard before the throne;
The race must come before the prize,
The cross before the crown. [Refrain]
