Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 11

1. Tho' deep'ning trials throng your way,
Press on, press on, ye Saints of God!
Ere long the resurrection day
Will spread its life and light abroad,
Will spread its life and light abroad.

2. Tho' outward ills await us here,
The time at longest is not long
Ere Jesus Christ will reappear,
Surrounded by a glorious throng,
Surrounded by a glorious throng.

3. Lift up your hearts in praise to God,
Let your rejoicings never cease;
Tho' tribulations rage abroad,
Christ says, “In me ye shall have peace,”
Christ says, “In me ye shall have peace.”

4. All glory to His holy name,
Who sends His faithful servants forth
To prove the nations—to proclaim
Salvation's tidings thro' the earth,
Salvation's tidings thro' the earth.

Trivia

• Out of all the hymns in Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1985, this one (no. 122), using the tune Reliance is the longest when performed as on the CDs (although it does not have the most verses printed in that hymnal).
