For Canaan I’ve started, and on I must go
Till all the bright glories of eden I know
I’ve made no reserve, and I’m sure I’ll not lack
While onward I journey, and I do not draw back.
My soul is on fire with faith and with Love
I long to ascend to my Jesus above
But nay, I must follow within His humble track
And prove my obedience by not drawing back.
Then on let us press onward; for Jesus is near
And strengthen each other with Words of good cheer
With zeal ever buoyant and courage ne’er slack
Let’s be true to our Saviour and never draw back.
