1. Lift up your heads, Immanuel's friends, And taste the pleasure Jesus sends, Let nothing cause you to delay, But hasten on the good old way | 2. Our conflicts here, though great they be, Shall not prevent our victory, If we but watch, and strive, and pray, Like soldiers in the good old way. | 3. O good old way, how sweet thou art! May none of us from thee depart, But may our actions always say, We're marching on the good old way. | 4. Though Satan may his power employ, Our peace and comfort to destroy, Yet never fear, we'll gain the day, And triumph in the good old way. | 5. And when on Pisgah's top we stand, And view by faith the promised land, Then we may sing, and shout, and pray And march along the good old way. | 6. Ye valiant souls, for heaven contend; Remember glory's at the end; Our God will wipe all tears away, When we have run the good old way. | 7. Then far beyond this mortal shore, We'll meet with those who're gone before And him we'll praise in endless day, Who brought us on the good old way. | And I'll sing hallelujah, And glory be to God on high; And I'll sing hallelujah, There's glory beaming from the sky. | |
