Falter Not

Composer: John Sweney

Falter not nor look be­hind thee

Cast thy ev­ery weight aside;

Haste to win the prize be­fore thee

Trusting Him

thy pre­cious guide.

Falter not

nor look be­hind thee

Still thy course with joy pur­sue;

Persevere

for thou must con­quer

With the cross of Christ in view.

Falter not nor look be­hind thee

Firm and fear­less take thy place;

Robe and crown and palm are wait­ing

For the vic­tors in the race.

Falter not nor look be­hind thee

Lest thy la­bor prove in vain;

Run with pa­tience

and re­mem­ber

Thou hast much to lose or gain.

Falter not nor look be­hind thee

Lo

the prize is just in sight;

One more strug­gle

meet it brave­ly

Speed thee on with all thy might.

Falter not nor look be­hind thee

What of all thy tri­als past

If by grace through faith in Je­sus

Thine the vic­tor’s crown at last?
