Refrain: I am bound to travel Up the gospel road, He will walk beside me, and will share my load; Reach the land of glory By the shining throne, To the Savior clinging, with the joy-bells ringing, I am bound to travel on. 2 I will never leave this highway, matters not how rough it seems, For I know the Lord is leading To the land of treasured dreams; I can feel His arms about me, Then I know I'm not alone, Trusting Him, with sweet assurance, I am bound to travel on. [Refrain] 3 Ev'ry sunset brings me nearer My eternal resting place, I shall soon join in the singing with the millions saved by grace; What a hallelujah morning When I meet the friends I've known, Till I stand in that glad circle, I am bound to travel on.
