1 Onward, soul, thro’ sun and rain,
Hopeful still thro’ joy and pain;
Christ shall keep thee, day by day,
Till the shadows flee away.

Refrain:
Trusting him, thy mighty Savior,
Trusting, serving, day by day;
Watch and pray, watch and pray,
Till the shadows flee away.

2 True and faithful do thy part,
Toiling on with happy heart;
Promptly all his words obey,
Till the shadows flee away. [Refrain]

3 Praise Him for the fadeless light,
Cheering e’en the darkest night;
Walking by love’s gentle ray,
Till the shadows flee away. [Refrain]

4 Spread around the beams divine,
Till on other paths they shine;
Till we meet “in bright array,”
When the shadows flee away. [Refrain]
