PROGRESS AND POWER

Soul, then know thy full salvation;

Rise o’er sin and fear and care;

Joy to find in every station,

Something still to do or bear,

Think what Spirit dwells within thee,

Think what Father’s smiles are thine;

Think that Jesus died to win thee –

Child of heaven, canst thou repine?

 Haste thee on from grace to glory,

Armed by faith and winged with prayer,

Heaven’s eternal day before thee,

God’s own hand shall guide thee there.

Soon shall close they earthly mission,

Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,

Hope shall change to glad fruition

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
