The Way Grows Brighter

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.

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.

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!
