We are in the ho­ly way,
Foll’wing but the fade­less ray,
Leading to that glo­ry
Land be­yond the sky;
With the Sav­ior as our guide,
Nothing can our souls be­tide;
We shall safe­ly reach
The hap­py by and by.

Refrain

Oh! the way grows brigh­ter
’Neath that chee­ring ray,
’Tis the light of Heav­en
Driv­ing gloom away!
Oh! the bur­den’s light­er
In the nar­row way,
And it’s grow­ing bright­er
Ev­ery passing day!

Since we’ve found our pre­cious Lord,
And re­ceived His great re­ward,
We’ve been walk­ing by
His side in faith each day;
Ever tell­ing of His love,
Given us from Heav’n ab­ove,
Where we’ll ga­ther when
The earth has passed away.

Refrain

Oh! ’twill not be ve­ry long
Till we join the hap­py throng,
For the way grows bright­er
As we jour­ney on;
There with Christ our king, we’ll be
Thro’ the glad eter­n­ity,
All our bur­dens, all
Our sor­rows ev­er gone!
