Lyrics
Press forward and fear not!
The billows may roll,
But the power of Jesus
Their rage can control:
Though waves rise in anger
Their tumult shall cease;
One word of His bidding
Shall hush them to peace.
Press forward and fear not
Though trial be near;
The Lord is our refuge,
Whom, then, shall we fear?
His staff is our comfort,
Our safeguard His rod;
Then let us be steadfast
And trust in our God.
Press forward and fear not!
Be strong in the Lord,
In the power of His promise,
The truth of His word;
Through the sea and the desert
Our pathway may tend,
But He who hath saved us
Will save to the end.
Press forward and fear not!
We'll speed on our way;
Why should we e'er shrink
From our path in dismay?
We tread but the way
Which our Leader has trod;
Then let us press forward
And trust in our God.
