"Press forward, Saints,
with steadfast faith in Christ,
With hope’s bright flame
alight in heart and mind,
With love of God
and love of all mankind.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Press forward, feasting
on the word of Christ.
Receive his name,
rejoicing in his might.
Come unto God;
find everlasting light.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Press on, enduring
in the ways of Christ.
His love proclaim
thru days of mortal strife.
Thus saith our God:
'Ye have eternal life!'
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!"
