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] Tune Title: [O, bless the Lord, what joy is mine!]
On the Way
