Lyrics

I am on my way to glo­ry,
To that hap­py home above;
I be­lieve the bless­èd sto­ry
Of the Sav­ior and His love.

Refrain

’Twill be glo­ry, won­drous glo­ry,
When we reach the oth­er shore;
’Twill be glo­ry, won­drous glo­ry,
Praising Je­sus ev­er­more.

Through each dan­ger He will lead me
By His won­drous pow­er di­vine;
Manna sweet He’ll dai­ly feed me—
All His bless­ings now are mine.

Refrain

I am on my way to glo­ry,
Where with loved ones I shall stay;
I shall sing sal­va­tion’s sto­ry,
While the ag­es roll away.
