Look back? \- What sorrow for the soul  
Who turns from God who made him whole  
Who turns from Christ’s own holiness  
To lead a life of wretchedness\.

Look back? \- ah no \- that cannot be  
My child the world is past for thee  
The pleasures, friends of yesterday  
Are left behind upon My way\.

Look back? \- on sin, depravity?  
Take heed my child, I cry to thee  
‘Tis forward into victory  
If you would only follow Me\.

“Look back? oh no \- when all is done  
And I the crown at last hath won  
T’will be my joy to testify  
I didn’t turn, my God deny\.”
