Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) ‎#7

7. The Good Old Way

1 Lift up your heads, Immanuel's friends,
And taste the joys that Jesus sends:
Let nothing cause you to delay,
But hasten on the good old way.

Refrain:
We are marching, marching,
Marching along in the good old way,
We are marching, marching,
Marching in the gold old way.

2 Oh, good old way, how sweet thou art,
May none of us from thee depart;
But may our conduct always say,
We're marching in the good old way. [Refrain]

3 Soon we on Pisgah's top shall stand,
and view by faith the promised land;
So let us sing and shout and pray,
while marching in the good old way. [Refrain]

4 Ye valiant souls, for right contend,
Remember glory's at the end;
Our God shall wipe all tears away,
when we have run the good old way. [Refrain]
