Keep Pressing On

Representative Text

1 The Son of man hath come to thee,
Has burst thy bonds and set thee free,
There’s safety in His blood alone;
Just look to God, keep pressing on.

Refrain:
Keep pressing on, keep pressing on,
Hold on to Him with all thy might;
Keep pressing on, keep pressing on,
You’re safe while walking in the light.

2 The evil works with all his pow’r
To cast us down our souls devour,
But when we look to God alone,
He’ll keep us safe and lead us on. [Refrain]

3 Keep trav’ling on the upward road;
Just cast on Him your ev’ry load,
Now is the time, O do prepare
To meet your Saviour in the air. [Refrain]

4 He’ll lift you up and make you stand,
And shout His praise here in this land;
Yes, wheresoe’er you may be found,
Shout out His praise the world around. [Refrain]
