Pressing On

To those whose ears have heard His voice,
Who said, " I am the Way,"
Whose souls for ever He has brought,
From death's overpowering sway,
This wondrous change shall know no end,
A never-ceasing flow
Of richest, purest streams of truth,
They shall go on to know.

But while perfection is in view,
Revealed to faith's keen sight;
We would, until He come again,
Make Christ our chief delight.
And as we feed, and learn, and know,
New heights and depths divine,
We must with others share the bliss,
And thus be found to shine.

In giving forth what we've received,
Persistent day by day;
We'll find our own stock multiplied,
For this is still God's way.
To preach, to teach, to testify,
In simple, earnest strain-
Each day, throughout the present year,
We'll find the truest gain.
