If we walk in the light…the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

We are traveling on with our staff in hand,
Walking in the good old way;
We are pilgrims bound for the heavenly land,
Walking in the good old way.
Refrain
Walking in the blessedness of love untold,
Traveling to a country that will ne’er grow old,
Jesus our Redeemer we shall there behold,
Home in the realms of day.
We are traveling on through a world of sin,
Walking in the good old way;
Though our foes are strong we have peace within,
Walking in the good old way.
Refrain
We are traveling on in the Master’s name,
Walking in the good old way;
And we sing His praise with a loud acclaim,
Walking in the good old way.
Refrain
We are traveling on to the rolling tide,
Walking in the good old way;
But we trust in Him who is still our guide,
Walking in the good old way.
