I Cannot Go Back

1. For Canaan I’ve started, and on I must go,
Till all the bright glories of Eden I know;
I’ve made no reserve, and I’m sure I will not lack,
While onward I journey and do not draw back.

2. My soul is on fire, with faith and with love,
I long to ascend to my Jesus above;
But no, I must follow within His humble track,
And prove my obedience by not drawing back.

3. Then let us press onward, for Jesus is near,
And strengthen each other with words of good cheer;
With zeal ever buoyant and courage never slack,
Be true to our Saviour, and never draw back.
