Author: Albert Midlane Hymnal: Gospel Hymns No. 5 #2 (1887) First Line: "Onward, upward, homeward!" Refrain First Line: Onward to the glory Lyrics: 1 “Onward, upward, homeward!”
Joyfully I flee
From this world of sorrow,
With my Lord to be:
Onward to the glory;
Upward to the prize;
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies.
Refrain:
Onward to the glory!
Upward to the prize!
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies!
2 “Onward, upward, homeward!”
Here I find no rest;
Treading o’er the desert
Which my Saviour pressed.
Onward, upward, homeward!
I shall soon be there;
Soon its joys and pleasures
I, through grace, shall share. [Refrain]
3 “Onward, upward, homeward!”
Come along with me;
Ye who love the Saviour,
Bear me company,
Onward, upward, homeward!
Press with vigour on;
Yet a little moment,
And the race is won. [Refrain] Scripture: Philippians 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: [Onward, upward, homeward!]
Onward, Upward, Homeward!
