New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 ‎#11

11. Happy On the Way am I

1 I am singing and I’m shouting all along the pilgrim way,
Happy on the way am I;
I am walking and I’m talking with my Saviour ev’ry day,
Happy on the way am I.

Refrain:
Singing! shouting! all along the way,
To that blessed home on high;
With my Saviour walking, walking, ev’ry day,
Happy on the way am I.

2 Tho’ the clouds may gather o’er me and I hear the thunder roll,
Happy on the way am I;
Not a storm can cause a ripple o’er the waters of my soul,
Happy on the way am I. [Refrain]

3 What tho’ fortune may prove fickle, and my fondest hopes may fade?
Happy on the way am I;
I am still an heir to glory, then why should I be dismayed?
Happy on the way am I. [Refrain]

4 I have given all to Jesus, ev’ry burden, ev’ry care,
Happy on the way am I;
Now he leads me thro’ green pastures, and by waters still and fair,
Happy on the way am I. [Refrain]

5 So with joy I will press forward till I reach that golden land,
Happy on the way am I;
All the way I will keep singing till I join that blood-washed band,
Happy on the way am I. [Refrain]
