HAPPY ON MY WAY

by Thomas J. Farris, Copyright 1939 by Stamps-Baxter Music

Soon I'll leave this world of sin and sorrow,
Meet my blessed Lord some glad tomorrow,
Over on the hallelujah shore, Where parting comes no more;
Won't that be a happy, happy meeting, Over where the angels sing,
Friends are waiting there for me, I know, with Christ my King.

CHORUS: I'm on my way To the land where all is perfect love
To dwell, ever dwell, up there, over there.
Where sad partings all will be o'er, forever,
Where angels sing, angels sweetly sing,
And the joybells ever ring, gladly ring.
What a happy meeting over there.
On heaven's shore, heaven's glory shore.

Traveling the road that leads to glory,
Singing ev'ry day, the sweet old story,
Telling to the world of His great love.
Of that sweet home above;
There's a narrow way from earth to heaven,
That's the only way for me,
Burdens are much lighter on this road, I'm glad and free.

With my blessed Lord I'm daily talking,
Closely to His side each moment walking,
Traveling along from day to day,
He's with me all the way;
Happy on my way I'm daily singing
Praising Him who made me free
That is why I'm on the glory road To victory.
