I Expect to Get to Heaven

The way our fa­thers tra­veled

Is good enough for me

They fol­lowed in the foot­steps

That led from Cal­va­ry.

It led them up to glo­ry

That land of end­less day

I ex­pect to get to Heav­en

By the same old way.

O this bless­èd old way

It is good enough for me

It is good enough for me

It is good enough for me;

My Sav­ior goes be­fore me

I fol­low Him each day

I ex­pect to get to Heav­en

By the same old way.

The world may sneer and tell me

I’ll nev­er reach the goal

That good works are suf­fi­cient

To save a hu­man soul

But while the world is talk­ing

I still will watch and pray

I ex­pect to get to Heav­en

By the same old way.

When bow­ers of sin en­tice me

To rest my wea­ry feet

I find in Christ my Sav­ior

A safe

a sure re­treat;

He tells me to press on­ward

And not look back

nor stay

I ex­pect to get to Heav­en

By the same old way.

Millions are now in glo­ry

In shin­ing white ar­rayed

Who tra­veled this same path­way

And oft­en were dis­mayed

But hap­py now in glo­ry

They sing both night and day

I ex­pect to get to Heav­en

By the same old way.
