Joy to the World ‎#43

43. Toiling up the Way

1 We are toiling up the way,
Narrow way, narrow way,
We have journeyed many a day,
Toward the kingdom.
Toward the distant shining land,
Golden land, golden land,
Where the heavenly harpers stand
In the kingdom.

Chorus:
Still we sing, Christ our King
Walks with us the weary way,
And the shining angels wait,
Angels wait, angels wait,
To unbar the golden gate
To the kingdom.

2 Though the journey may be long,
Hard and long, hard and long,
We will cheer it with a song
Of the kingdom.
We shall enter by the cross,
Blessed cross, blessed cross,
Gaining gold that hath no dross,
In the kingdom. [Chorus]

3 We shall know each other there,
Over there, over there,
When our angel robes we wear
In the kingdom.
All that's purest, holiest here,
Grows more dear, grows more dear,
In the mansions drawing near,
In the Kingdom. [Chorus]
