The Tabernacle Hymns ‎#180

180. I Am on the Road that Leads to Glory

1 In the paths of sin and darkness I no longer roam,
This vile world has no delights for me;
I have joined the band of pilgrims who are traveling Home,
I am on the road that leads to glory.

Refrain:
I am on the road, I am on the road,
I am on the road that leads to glory!
Soon I’ll see the pearly gates,
Where my Lord and Saviour waits,
For I’m on the road that leads to glory!

2 Tho’ the path may oft grow narrow He will lead me; through,
For He’s Life and Light each day to me;
I will tread the way with Jesus’ own despised few,
For I’m on the road that leads to glory. [Refrain]

3 Just beyond me lies that Glorious City, guilt four-square,
And the Home He has prepared for me;
When I reach my journey’s end, I’ll find Him waiting there,
For I’m on the road that leads to glory. [Refrain]
