We are speed­ing, speed­ing on­ward
To the great tri­um­phant day,
When we’ll lay our bur­dens down at Je­sus’ feet;
With the migh­ty host un­num­bered
We shall stand in white ar­ray—
In the gran­deur so amaz­ing lost com­plete.

Refrain

Speeding onward, home to glo­ry,
Where the saved with Je­sus dwell,
Soon we’ll join that hap­py cho­rus,
Evermore His prais­es swell.

We are speed­ing, speed­ing on­ward,
We the vic­to­ry shall win,
And in tri­umph we shall safe­ly reach the goal;
Tho’ the clouds may ga­ther o’er us
We’ll not lose the sight of Him,
’Tis His pre­sence that il­lum­in­ates the soul.

Refrain

We are speed­ing, speed­ing on­ward
To the bless­èd home above,
O the joys that will at­tend us ov­er there!
Then we’ll shout and sing the prais­es
Of the Sav­ior’s won­drous love,
As we en­ter in­to man­sions bright and fair.
