Cleave to the Lord (High Calling)

 

Cleave to the Lord with all your heart

Do the things that are before- press toward the mark

The high calling of God is the great prize

So on Jesus Christ, set your eyes!

Your lot in life may seem unfair

And your position difficult to bear

Cleave to the Lord, He will not forsake you

Cleave to Him, the world will not overtake you

Though the cross be heavy and the fight be hard

He himself will be His very Best reward

So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done

Now labor on, work on, strive on

Strive till the souls of others are won
Pray on through these latter days

For God‘s glory and his praise

So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done
