If you know Murphy’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
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.
Refrain
