120. We are Singing On the Way

1 We are singing on the way,
To a blessed land of day,
Where the raptured hallelujahs never cease;
We will see its shining towers,
Rest within its lovely bowers,
In that Edenland of everlasting peace.

Chorus:
Blessed home! blessed home!
In the house of "many mansions," bright and fair;
For we'll be like Jesus there,
And his glory we shall share,
In the house of "many mansions," bright and fair.

2 What though trials here we meet?
Soon we'll walk the golden street,
Where we'll look upon the beauty of our King;
Tears of sorrow here may flow,
But "hereafter we shall know,"
And redeeming love thro' endless ages sing. [Chorus]

3 We are pressing on the way,
Let us work, and watch, and pray
Winning stars to sparkle in our crowns of light;
Let us tell the Saviour's love,
Till he bids us come above,
Where no shadow ever mars the radiance bright. [Chorus]
