- mean to go right on until the crown is won;
I mean to fight the fight of faith till life on earth is done.
I�ll nevermore turn back, defeat I shall not know,
For God will give me victory if onward I shall go.
- Refrain:
I�m going on, I�m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I�m going on;
I�m going on, I�m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I�m going on.
- Should opposition come, should foes obstruct my way,
Should persecution�s fires be lit, as in the ancient day�
With Jesus by my side, His peace within my soul,
No matter if the battle�s hot, I mean to win the goal.
- I see a shining crown awaiting over there,
I see a mansion all prepared and decked with beauties rare:
Shall that which intervenes deprive me of my right?
Nay, on I�ll go until I reach that city of delight.
- Then forward let us go, our hearts with love aflame,
Our snowy banner borne aloft, inscribed with Jesus� name.
The hosts of evil flee, and heaven�s open gates
Invite me now to hasten where eternal glory waits.
