Lyrics

Home to Zion we are bound,
Happy in the love of Je­sus,
Peace abiding we have found,
Happy in the love of Je­sus.

Refrain

Happy, happy,
Singing all the way,
Happy all the day;
Happy, happy,
Happy in the love of Je­sus.

Trusting we will forward go,
Happy in the love of Je­sus,
Treading changeful paths below,
Happy in the love of Je­sus.

Refrain

We will sing sal­va­tion’s song,
Happy in the love of Je­sus,
All our earthly way along,
Happy in the love of Je­sus.

Refrain

Soon we’ll reach the homeland fair,
Happy in the love of Je­sus,
And shall dwell for­ev­er there,
Happy in the love of Je­sus.
