210. Never Look Back Again

1 O never look back to the world again
When once you have turn’d away;
Its sin is as real and its pleasure as vain
Today as on yesterday.

Chorus:
It’s the same old world you once did flee,
Never look back again!
It’s just the same as it used to be,
O never look back again!

2 Remember the pillar in yonder plain,
And never such end invoke,
The record of one who was looking again
When Sodom went up in smoke. [Chorus]

3 How many set out for the promised land
Whose bones in the desert slept,
What blessings awaited when Jordan was spann’d,
But they for old Egypt wept. [Chorus]

4 O if you have fastened your hand to plow,
Then never look back again!
Keep true to your furrow, and hold to your vow,
That heaven you may attain. [Chorus]
