Full Text

Press on, press on! ye sons of light, Untiring in your holy fight, Still treading each temptation down, And battling for a brighter crown. Press on, press on! through toil and woe, With calm resolve, to triumph go, And make each dark and threatening ill Yield but a higher glory still. Press on, press on! still look in faith To him who vanquished sin and death; Then shall ye hear God's word, “Well done!” True to the last, press on, press on!
