Lyrics

I sought and found my Lord and king,
His prais­es I will ev­er sing;
And hon­or dai­ly His com­mand,
While on the way to Glo­ry-land.

Refrain

I’m on the way, I’m on the way,
I go re­joic­ing day by day;
I’m on the way, I’m on the way,
I’m on my way to Glo­ry-land.

So won­der­ful His love to me,
He set my long­ing spir­it free;
His pow­er hath brok­en Sa­tan’s band,
And leads me on to Glo­ry-land.

Filled with Thy love, Lord, I would be,
Forever saved and kept by Thee;
And crowned at last at Thy right hand,
A ran­somed soul in Glo­ry-land.
