We Will Journey On

Brighter and bright­er the way is grow­ing—

We will journ­ey on;

Purer and clear­er the streams are flow­ing—

We will jour­ney on;

Streams that in peace­ful mur­murs glide

Fed by a fount­ain deep and wide—

Cheered by their voice on ev­ery side

We will jour­ney on

we will jou­rney on.

Brighter and bright­er our hope is shin­ing—

We will journ­ey on;

Closer and clos­er our hearts are twin­ing—

We will jour­ney on;

Only a while we pause to rest

Under the cross that Je­sus blessed;

Wearing His name on ev­ery breast

We will jour­ney on

we will jour­ney on.

Firm to the arm of the Sav­ior cling­ing—

We will jour­ney on;

Sweeter and sweet­er our songs are ring­ing—

We will journ­ey on;

What if a pass­ing cloud arise?

What if its gloom should veil our skies?

Touched by His hand

it fades

it dies—

We will jour­ney on

we will jour­ney on.

Nearer the man­sions with beau­ty glow­ing—

We will jour­ney on;

Nearer the flow­ers im­mor­tal grow­ing—

We will jour­ney on;

Nearer the tree of life so fair

Nearer

the heav’n­ly fruit to share

Glory to God! we’ll soon be there—

We will jour­ney on

we will jour­ney on.
