Representative Text

1 Keep straight on, with the eye of faith
Fixed on the prize above;
Striving to keep in the narrow path,
Cheered by a Saviour’s love.

Refrain:
Keep straight on, do not faint or fear,
Jesus will lead the way;
Onward and upward the path shines clear,
Unto the perfect day.

2 Keep straight on, let your light shine clear,
Cheering the lonely way;
Turning the shadows of doubt and fear,
Into the gleam of day. [Refrain]

3 Keep straight on up the shining way,
Leaving the world behind;
Up where the heavenly sunbeams play;
Blessing in Jesus find. [Refrain]

4 Keep straight on through the pearly gates,
Into the city fair;
Up to the throne, where the Saviour waits,
Joyful the welcome there! [Refrain]
