PRESS ALONG TO GLORY LAND
by Emmett Sidney Dean, 1876-1951
(version by Rowe and Dean)
O ransomed souls, with joyous song,
Press along to Glory-land;
Extolling grace that saves the race,
Press along to glory-land.
Press along, glad soul, press along,
Giving out the message grand;
Letting love, God's love, be your song,
Press along to glory-land.
The foe may rave, but Christ will save,
Press along to Glory-land;
The storm may sweep, but He will keep,
Press along to glory-land.
CHORUS
To join once more those gone before,
Press along to Glory-land;
With saints to sing before the King,
Press along to glory-land.
CHORUS
The crown to wear forever there,
Press along to Glory-land;
To sing His praise through countless days,
Press along to glory-land.
CHORUS

I'll gladly post the tune - but Mudcat MIDI FTP isn't working just now, so I can't upload MIDI files. If you need the tune before I can post it, send me an e-mail.
