Hymn 181 - Onward I’ll Go

O Lord, keep me with Thee, Thy brightness to know,

And keep, Lord, Thy true light within me aglow.

O Lord, lead me onward, worldly cares I forsake,

To Thee, O my Saviour, this promise I’ll make.

Onward I’ll go, Yes, onward I’ll go!

Come doubts and fears, Lord, onward will I go;

Jesus, my Lord, blessed Saviour, with me stay;

Walk with me, Lord, Onward, Yes, I will go.

How steep is the pathway to heaven above,

I’ll leave sin behind me and walk in Thy love.

O Lord, help me follow, Thy disciple to be,

For I will but falter if Thou leavest me.

Many are the willing, who started the journey,

Without Thee, Lord Jesus, their footsteps to lead.

Others run the distance in the glow of God’s grace,

To them goes the vict’ry, the crown and the race.

REFRAIN

Onward I’ll go, Yes, onward I’ll go!

Come doubts and fears, Lord, onward will I go;

Jesus, my Lord, blessed Saviour, with me stay;

Walk with me, Lord, Onward, Yes, I will go.
