<td><em>Words:</em> <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_c_r_crosby_fj.html" target="_blank">Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby</a>, in <em>Songs of Redeeming Love</em>, edited by John R. Sweney, C. C. McCabe, <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_o_k_okane_tc.html" target="_blank">Tullius C. O’Kane</a> and <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_k_i_kirkpatrick_wj.html" target="_blank">William J. Kirkpatrick</a> (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1887). The references in the last verse to “prairie” and “frontier”
|
|
remind us that Fanny wrote primarily with an American audience in mind. Little did she know that her songs would come to be published over a worldwide electronic network!

<p>Press on, press on, ye workers,<br>
|
|
Be loyal, brave, and true:<br>
|
|
Great things the Lord is doing,<br>
|
|
And greater things will do;<br>
|
|
His army, still increasing<br>
|
|
With each revolving year,<br>
|
|
Shall send a shout of rapture forth<br>
|
|
That all the world shall hear.
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Rejoice, rejoice, ye workers all rejoice;<br>
|
|
O, clap your hands and sing,<br>
|
|
O, clap your hands and sing;<br>
|
|
God’s holy church shall triumph yet,<br>
|
|
Triumph yet, triumph yet,<br>
|
|
And He shall reign our King,<br>
|
|
Shall reign our King.</p>
|
|
<p>The walls of leagued oppression<br>
|
|
To dust shall fall away;<br>
|
|
The sword of truth eternal<br>
|
|
No power on earth can stay;<br>
|
|
Though all the hosts of darkness<br>
|
|
Were marshaled on the field,<br>
|
|
The church of God would stand unmoved,<br>
|
|
With Christ her Strength and Shield.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Behold her marching onward,<br>
|
|
In majesty sublime,<br>
|
|
Along the rolling prairies<br>
|
|
That bound our western clime;<br>
|
|
And soon from every hamlet<br>
|
|
On all our vast frontier<br>
|
|
Glad songs shall rise to Jesus,<br>
|
|
While skeptics turn to hear.</p>
