1. I am on my way to Heaven
where the saints are robed in white
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
To that blessèd land immortal
where can never come the night,
Shouting glory all the way!

Refrain
O glory, hallelujah!
I am on the way to Heaven,
Shouting glory, shouting glory
O glory, hallelujah!
I am on the way to Heaven,
Shouting glory, all the way!

2. I am on my way to Heaven
where the streets are paved with gold,
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
To the place of many mansions
and of glories yet untold,
Shouting glory all the way! [Refrain]

3. I am on my way to Heaven,
blessèd land of pure delight,
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
Where the blest of every nation
are forever clothed in white,
Shouting glory all the way! [Refrain]

4. I am on my way to Heaven
where I’ll see my Savior’s face
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
There I’ll sing redemption’s story,
blessèd song of saving grace,
Shouting glory all the way! [Refrain]
