Going On

The fires of the sun shall be quenched at last,

And the steadfast stars be gone;

But souls of the ransomed shall live in strength,

And they still shall be going on.

Refrain

Going on, going on,

They still shall be going on;

Forever and aye, through eternal day,

They still shall be going on.

As souls that remember and feel and thrill,

We shall live when seas are dry;

As separate beings, to love and will,

We shall live, nevermore to die.

Refrain

From glory to glory our path shall be,

And from grace to perfect grace;

Through all the wide years of eternity,

We shall look on our dear Lord's face.

Going on, going on,

We still shall be going on;

Forever and aye, through eternal day,

We still shall be going on.
