Author: Charles E. Ferguson Appears in 4 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: We are speeding, speeding onward Refrain First Line: Speeding onward, home to glory Lyrics: 1. We are speeding, speeding onward
to the great triumphant day,
When we’ll lay our burdens down at Jesus’ feet;
With the mighty host unnumbered
we shall stand in white array—
In the grandeur so amazing lost complete.
Refrain
Speeding onward, home to glory,
Where the saved with Jesus dwell,
Soon we’ll join that happy chorus,
Evermore His praises swell.

And in triumph we shall safely reach the goal;
Tho’ the clouds may gather o’er us
we’ll not lose the sight of Him,
’Tis His presence that illuminates the soul. [Refrain]
3. We are speeding, speeding onward

O the joys that will attend us over there!

As we enter into mansions bright and fair. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We are speeding, speeding onward] Text Sources: Songs of Christian Service, by Henry L. Gilmour & William Kirkpatrick (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Hall Mack Company, 1903), number 27

Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
