Adding link text to Glyph icon.

Is it possible to add text (eg 'Previous page' & 'Next page' to the glyph icons/ arrows on the single project pages, so that both the icon and the text are links? 

                    <p><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>'); ?>Previous Project</p>

                    <p><?php next_post_link( '%link', '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>'); ?>Next Project</p>

The above adds the text but it doesn't link. :(

I'll give it one more shot. Give this a try. I believe this will work.

<?php previous_posts_link( '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span> Previous Project' ); ?>
<?php next_posts_link( 'Next Project <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>' ); ?>

I don't have my local development open at the moment but it seems, using the HTML you provided, that something like this should work.

<?php previous_posts_link( __( '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span> Previous Project' ) ); ?>
<?php next_posts_link( __( 'Next Project <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>' ) ); ?>
