I Expect to Get to Heaven by the Same Old Way
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: The way our father's traveled is good enough for me Refrain First Line: O this blessed old way, it is good enough for me Lyrics: 1 The way our father's traveled is good enough for me,
They followed in the footsteps that led from Calvary,
It led them up to glory, that land of endless day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way.
Chorus:
O this blessed old way, it is good enough for me,
It is good enough for me, it is good enough for me;
My Saviour goes before me, I follow Him each day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way.
2 The world may sneer and tell me I'll never reach the goal,
That good works are sufficient to save a human soul,
But while the world is talking, I still will watch and pray,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus]
3 When bowers of sin entice me to rest my weary feet,
I find in Christ my Saviour, a safe, a sure retreat,
He tells me to press onward, and not look back, nor stay,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus]
4 Millions are now in glory, in shining white arrayed,
Who traveled this same pathway, and often were dismayed,
But happy now in glory they sing both night and day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus] Topics: Praise Used With Tune: [The way our father's traveled is good enough for me]

The Blood Upon the Door
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: When the Lord pass'd over Egypt Refrain First Line: Precious blood upon the door Lyrics: 1 When the Lord pass'd over Egypt,
There was weeping ev'rywhere,
For the angel smote the first-born,
Of each family dwelling there,
But some houses he pass'd over,
As his word had said before,
And death entered not the portals,
When the blood was on the floor.
Chorus:
Precious blood upon the door,
Saving blood upon the door,
O my soul there is no danger,
When the blood is on the door.
2 We are in a land of danger,
And death lurks on ev'ry hand,
But that soul has perfect safety,
Who obeys the Lord's command,
For secure in God's pavilion,
He can watch life's breakers roar,
For God's angels guard that dwelling,
Where the blood is on the door. [Chorus]
3 Not the blood of lambs or cattle,
Sprinkled over any part,
But the blood of Christ the Saviour,
Can redeem a human heart,
Then when death these ties shall sever,
And we walk on earth no more,
We may live with Christ forever,
If His blood is on the door. [Chorus] Topics: Revival; The Saviour Used With Tune: [When the Lord pass'd over Egypt]

Eternity's Shore

Who have cross'd the dark waters before;

When I land on Eternity's shore.

Where the saints of all ages repose;
There the Lamb is resplendent forever,
For the light of His purity glows;
O I'm longing, and watching, and waiting,
And my heart yearns to go, more and more;
Ah! what joy and what rapture will greet me,
When I land on Eternity's shore. [Refrain]
3 When the journey of life is completed,
When its toil and its warfare is done;
When the light of its day is recedeing,
And I bask in its last setting sun;
Then dear Jesus, I pray Thee prepare me,
That to mansions of bliss I may soar;
And to Thee will I give all the glory,
When I land on Eternity's shore. [Refrain]

To Thee, O Christ, We Ever Pray

Thou pure and holy One, alway
Protect our night of years!

In sleep they dream thy praise;
And to thy glory faithfully
They hail the coming days.

Refresh our spirits then;
Let blackest night before thee pale;
And bring thy light to men.

And, at this evening hour,
May all that we have purposed ill
Be right thro' perfect power. Topics: Devotional Used With Tune: [To thee, O Christ, we ever pray]

Keep his word, and salvation receive. [Chorus] Topics: The Scriptures Scripture: Mark 1:15 Used With Tune: [It is new, it is new ev'ry moment]

Since my sins are washed away. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Used With Tune: [In the fullness of his mercy]

When the final hour doth come,
Wilt thou guide me safely home? Topics: Revival Used With Tune: [Jesus dear, I come to thee]
