4130. I'm Going That Way

1 I’ve heard of a land of joy and peace
And wonderful light;
A beautiful place of mansions fair
And skies ever bright;
Where all who believe the Savior dear,
Forever shall stay,
And having been saved by grace divine,
I’m going that way.

Refrain:
I’m going that way, I’m going that way;
And Jesus the Savior I adore
Is with me each day;
I’m clinging to Him, and never to stray,
Yes, singing His praises all day long,
I’m going that way.

2 The glorious news I tell and sing,
As onward I go;
That those who are still astray in sin
My Savior may know;
I want them to sing His praise above,
Some beautiful day,
For glory to Him who died for me,
I’m going that way. [Refrain]

3 I know I shall meet Him at the gate,
When trials are past,
I know I shall meet Him face to face
In glory at last;
And, oh, I believe that when we meet
"Well done" He will say,
For trusting His soul redeeming love,
I’m going that way. [Refrain]
