On the way of Jesus' cross, keep on progressing

1.
On the way of Jesus’ cross, keep on progressing.
Though your very life it costs you, give up everything.
Every member run with zeal, e’er onward pressing.
Heed the Word of Christ your King. Word of Christ your King.
Chorus:
Enter in! You will win!
Give up all by faith and follow Christ the Lord.
Vict’ry’s sure; just endure.
Then you’ll attain His blest reward.
2.
Let not any hinder you, friend or relation.
Go out from them. Break each tie and from their ways depart.
Fathers, mothers God will send with consolation.
He will heal your grieving heart, heal your grieving heart.
3.
When discouraged you have been, what has that given?
Has your unbelief and doubting ever been the cure?
Trust God’s Word of faith; it gives comfort from heaven.
Have a fervent heart that’s pure, fervent heart that’s pure.
