143. Heavenly Journey

1 We are on our heav'nly journey,
With the Saviour by our side;
To that land of endlenss glory,
Where forever we'll abide.

Refrain:
We are on our heav'nly journey,
To the bright, celestial shore!
Day by day we're trav'ling onward,
There to dwell for evermore!

2 We are ever looking forward,
For the time when Christ will come;
Of that great and final judgment,
Which will call our spirits [sic] home! [Refrain]

3 Christ will bid us all a welcome,
To that home so bright and fair;
That will be a happy meeting,
When we all shall gather home!

4 Come my friends and get thee ready,
Have your lamps all trim'd and bright;
For you're on the heav'nly journey,
To a land of pure delight! [Refrain]
