Tune: | [The way our father's traveled is good enough for me] |
Composer: | Geo. C. Hugg |
1 The way our father's traveled is good enough for me,
They followed in the footsteps that led from Calvary,
It led them up to glory, that land of endless day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way.
Chorus:
O this blessed old way, it is good enough for me,
It is good enough for me, it is good enough for me;
My Saviour goes before me, I follow Him each day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way.
2 The world may sneer and tell me I'll never reach the goal,
That good works are sufficient to save a human soul,
But while the world is talking, I still will watch and pray,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus]
3 When bowers of sin entice me to rest my weary feet,
I find in Christ my Saviour, a safe, a sure retreat,
He tells me to press onward, and not look back, nor stay,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus]
4 Millions are now in glory, in shining white arrayed,
Who traveled this same pathway, and often were dismayed,
But happy now in glory they sing both night and day,
I expect to get to heaven by the same old way. [Chorus]
