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.
