Forward Ever Backward Never

Forward ever, backward never

Straight ahead the course is set

Onward, upward, always reaching

For the goal with no regret

What can this world of woe now offer

To replace the throne of God

Forward ever, backward never

Walking in the Saviour's love

Forward ever, backward never

Run the race with all your might

With your eyes fixed on the Saviour

He will be your guiding light

Store up treasures fit for heaven

Do not worry or be faint

Forward ever, backward never

Come to worship with the saints

Do not worry for tomorrow

Cast your cares upon the LORD

He will wipe away your sorrow

He will be your just reward

Forward ever backward never

Stay the course and you will see

The glory of the King of heaven

Coming down for you and me

Sound the trumpet, ring the bell

Preach the gospel of the King

Forward ever, backward never

Loud hosannas we will sing

Forward ever, backward never

Never doubting, always sure

Put your trust and faith in Jesus

Then your life will be secure

Place your sins upon the altar

Every wrong you must confess

Forward ever, backward never

You will be forever blessed

Do not worry for tomorrow

Cast your cares upon the LORD

He will wipe away your sorrow

He will be your just reward

He will wipe away your sorrow

He will be your just reward

To God be the glory
