The way our fa­thers 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.

Refrain

O this bless­èd old way,
It is good enough for me,
It is good enough for me,
It is good enough for me;
My Sav­ior goes be­fore me,
I fol­low Him each day,
I ex­pect to get to Hea­ven
By the same old way.

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.

Refrain

When bow­ers of sin en­tice me
To rest my wea­ry feet,
I find in Christ my Sav­ior
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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
