Progress

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Step by step we climb the mountain Lyrics: 1 Step by step we climb the mountain, Inch by inch the oak tree grows; Back and forth with tireless motion, Grand old ocean ebbs and flows. 2 Making each year some small changes, In the coastline, on the rocks; While they stand in pose defiant, Guarding us from Neptune’s shocks. 3 Straw by straw a nest is builded; Brick by brick a house is made, Day by day with constant effort, Scholar climbs to higher grade. 4 Be not downcast, lowly worker, If you do not seem to grow, Do you best each day and moment, And the years will progress show.
