77. Keep Pressing Onward

1 Keep pressing onward, nor doubt nor fear,
Keep the heart singing glad songs of cheer;
Just when you need Him He will be near,
Keep pressing on with Jesus.

Refrain:
He will lead you day by day,
He will lead you all the way,
Just when you need Him, He will be near,
Keep pressing on with Jesus.

2 Keep pressing onward when shadows fall,
Jesus will hear thy heart’s faintest call;
He will not fail thee, trust Him for all,
Keep pressing on with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Keep pressing onward, faithful and true,
Faint not, nor fail thy course to pursue;
Valiantly fight, the prize keep in view,
Keep pressing on with Jesus. [Refrain]
