I’m on the way to Heav’n above,
To sing the songs of joy and love,
That I by faith can almost hear,
As to my home I’m drawing near.
Refrain
Hallelujah,
I’m on the way to Heaven above;
Hallelujah, be forever,
Unto the One who gives me His love.
Oh, blessèd thought when in that land,
With Christ, my Lord, I gladly stand;
Then I shall kneel at His dear feet,
And worship Him with joy complete.
Refrain
Oh, happy time, oh, blessèd day,
When sorrows all have passed away;
With all the saints I then shall sing
Eternal praises to my king.
