1 In service I find rich reward,
And blessing ev’ry day;
For since by faith I’ve found the Lord,
‘Tis glory all the way.

Refrain:
‘Tis glory, glory,
Glory, glory, ev’ry day!
Praise God! ‘tis glory,
‘Tis glory all the way!

2 I feel God’s glory when I sing,
I feel it when I pray;
In summer, winter, autumn, spring,
‘Tis glory ev’ry day. [Refrain]

3 While seeking to discern His will,
While striving to obey;
I find that He my cup doth fill
With glory all the way. [Refrain]

4 Not only does God send me grace
To help me day by day;
But while He shows His smiling face,
‘Tis glory all the way. [Refrain]

5And when I bid the world good-bye,
At closing of life’s day;
I’ll shout when starting for the sky,
“’Tis glory all the way.” [Refrain]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church. Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill.
