Bright abode, bright abode!

On the road, on the road.

For his mercy sought and found us,
And his blood to service bound us;
So we’ll work for all around us,
On the road, going home.

“Be of cheer, be of cheer;”
And to pilgrims who have started,
“Never fear, never fear.” [Refrain]

“Come this way, come this way;”
We will tell Christ’s loving kindness,
Ev’ry day, ev’ry day. [Refrain]

As we sing, as we sing;
May our lamps be brightly burning,
For the King, for the King. [Refrain]

Bids us come, bids us come;
But we’ll live and work for Jesus,
Going home, going home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are going home to glory]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia.

Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
