Speed away! 2 Speed away! speed away from thy home fair and bright, To the homes that are darken'd by sin's starless night, Tho' the world with its pleasures invite thee to stay, Tho' the lov'd ones entreat thee "good-bye" to delay Look away thro' the tears, To eternity's years: Speed away! speed away! Speed away! 3 Speed away! speed away, with the love of thy Lord, With the glorious tidings revealed in his word: Bear the Bethlehem story with gladness to men, Bid the world to prepare for His coming again; Free salvation proclaim Thro' Immanuel's name: Speed away! speed away! Speed away! Used With Tune: [Speed away! speed away! over mountain and sea]

Tho' the way be dark and dreary, Life's sharp anguish must be borne. Courage, then, ye faint and weary, Linger not to weep and mourn. 2 Pilgrims on! the storm is beating, Beating wildly on your way: Tarry not, the time is fleeting; Shall the storm your footsteps stay? Hasten on, thro' joy and sorrow, Or whatever may betide, Wait not for the calm tomorrow, Faithful at your work abide. 3 Pilgrim on! what tho' in dangers, Life's eventful course pursue; Labor on, ye friendless strangers, Grace will guide you safely through. What if trials must befall you! What if fierce temptations rise! Shall earth's bitter strife appall you While contending for the prize? 4 Pilgrims on! there's rest in heaven, Rest from every anxious care, Rest in Jesus' smiles forgiven, Peaceful and eternal there. O, 't were sweet to toil in sadness, O, 't were well the cross to bear, If at last in joy and gladness We may rest forever there! Used With Tune: ONWARD
