231. On the Way

1 O, bless the Lord, what joy is mine!
What perfect peace thro’ grace divine!
And now to realms of endless day,
O, bless the Lord, I’m on the way.

Refrain:
I’m on the way, I’m on the way,
In vain the world would bid me stay;
A crown to wear in endless day,
O, bless the Lord, I’m on the way.

2 O, bless the Lord, he dwells with me,
The voice I hear, the hand I see
Renew my strength from day to day
While home to him I’m on the way. [Refrain]

3 O, bless the Lord for what I know
Of heavenly bliss while here below!
My trusting heart through faith can say,
To mansions bright I’m on the way. [Refrain]

4 O, bless the Lord ’twill not be long
Till I shall join the holy throng,
And shout and sing thro’ endless day,
Where every tear is wiped away. [Refrain]
