I Am on the Way

On the cross of Cal­va­ry

My Re­deem­er died for me

And for all His fol­low­ers He pre­pares a place;

Since I clasped His lov­ing hand

Out in sin’s great de­sert land

I am on the way to Heav­en

praise His grace!

O the pre­cious love of Je­sus

It is burn­ing in my soul;

I am on the way to glo­ry

Where I shall Him e’er ex­tol!

I was lost in sin and night

With no hope of peace and light

Wandering far­ther from my Sav­ior day by day;

But thro’ par­don­ing grace and love

To the hap­py home above

With a song of glad­ness

I am on the way.

Fully yield­ing Christ my heart

Bidding doubts and fears de­part

Trusting Him that I in sin no more shall stray;

To the home of joy un­told

Where I shall His face be­hold

Praising Him for vic­to­ry

I am on the way.
