Ev¤er¤more press¤ing on with the ¤Sav¤iour,
Nev¤er ceas¤ing to la¤bour and pray,
You will soon reach the end of the ¤jour¤ney;
Do not wea¤ry or faint by the way.

Chorus:
Press¤ing on, press¤ing on,
Ev¤er¤more seek to la¤bour and pray;
Keep your heart and your ¤life
On the al¤tar of serv¤ice al¤way.

Chorus 2:
Press¤ing on,
press¤ing on,
Keep your heart
and your life

Ev¤er¤more press¤ing on, do not ¤lin¤ger;
See, the shad¤ows are fall¤ing a¤round;
With the Sav¤iour no e¤vil can ¤harm you,
Though the pit¤falls and snares may a¤bound.

Ev¤er¤more press¤ing on in the ¤foot¤steps
Of the Mas¤ter who jour¤neyed be¤fore
And the faith¤ful who now share His ¤glo¤ry,
Where they hun¤ger and thirst nev¤er¤more.

Ev¤er¤more seek the friend¤ship of ¤Je¤sus,
All your life’s lit¤tle day here be¤low;
In the glo¤ry and rest He is ¤wait¤ing–
Let your prais¤es un¤ceas¤ing¤ly flow.
