“On to the goal, press on,
Alone, yet unafraid;
He cut the path that beckons thee, On then and undismayed.
On to the goal and its length.
On to the goal, press on,
Look not behind thee now,
When just ahead lies His, “Well done,” And crowns await thy brow.
On to the goal, press on,
The eyes that are aflame are watching thee. What then are men?
What matter praise or blame?
On to the goal, press on,
Blind, deaf, and sometimes dumb, Along the uphill, blood-marked road, Hard after Christ, press on

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained. Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.” Philippians 3:13-17
“Do you not know that in a race all runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
