We are tra­vel­ing home by the good old way,
By the way our fa­thers trod;
We will join them there in the land of day,
And for­ev­er reign with God.

Refrain

’Tis the same old way, the same old way,
There is just one road to Je­sus—
By the way of the cross of Cal­va­ry!
We must tra­vel the same old way.

We at times will chance where the road­ways cross,
There ’tis Sa­tan will de­lay;
But we heed the words of the still small voice
Saying, Keep the nar­row way.

Refrain

Many stop to look for a bet­ter way,
And are swal­lowed up in night,
While the faith­ful few, by their stea­dy tread,
Enter thro’ the gates of light.

Refrain

’Twas my fa­ther’s way, ’twas my mo­ther’s way,
And ’twill be the way for me!
When my jour­ney’s done, and my crown is won,
By the same old way ’twill be.

Refrain

Oh, how glad am I there is just one way,
It is nar­row, but ’tis straight;
Tho’ it leads up­hill we mount up­ward still,
T’ward the heav’n­ly, pear­ly gate.
