and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
and an immortal crown,
and an immortal crown.

hold thee in full survey;
forget the steps already trod,
and onward urge thy way,

that calls thee from on high;
'tis His own hand presents the prize
to thine aspiring eye,

a heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
and an immortal crown,
