We are tra­vel­ing on life’s jour­ney
Happy on the up­ward way;
Soon we’ll reach the gates of glo­ry
Leading to eter­nal day.

Refrain

We are going home to glo­ry,
’Tis the Christ who bids us come;
Just be­yond the crys­tal river,
Waits a bright, eter­nal home.

Though the road be steep and stony,
On we toil through cold or heat;
We will keep in step with Je­sus,
Till we rest our wea­ry feet.

Refrain

We are go­ing home to Je­sus,
When our race on earth is run;
Heaven’s glo­ry will grow bright­er,
When has set life’s sink­ing sun.

Refrain
