[Music]
O who will join and help me sing,
I never will turn back while heaven's in my view.
The praise of Zion's conqu'ring King,
I never will turn back while heaven's in my view.
Heaven is my home, my journey I'll pursue,
I never will turn back while heaven's in my view.
By faith my journey I'll pursue, I never _etc._
And bid all earthly things adieu, I never _etc._
I want my friends to go with me,
I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see.
I want to take them by the hand
And march unto the promised land.
My Jesus dwells on Zion's hill,
And faithful to his promise still.
Then whosoever will, may come,
For Jesus Christ refuseth none.
O what a Captain I have got!
O is not mine a happy lot!
He surely is the sinner's friend,
And one that loves unto the end.
I'm travelling through the wilderness
And seeking for a heavenly rest.
That rest in Jesus Christ is found,
And I will sing it all around.
For fight I must, while here below;
The word of God has taught me so.
Has taught me I shall conqueror be,
In death and through eternity.
My Jesus bids me still press on,
And reaches out to me a crown.
He says to me, be not afraid,
For I can save beyond the grave.
O while I'm singing of his name,
My soul begins to feel the flame.
When he to me his presence gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives.
