Lyrics

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.
