WALKING IN THE GOOD OLD WAY

"If we walk in the light...the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

Words: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby, in Songs of Love and Praise (John Hood: 1897).
Music: John Robson Sweney (1837-1899).
We are traveling on with our staff in hand,
Walking in the good old way;
We are pilgrims bound for the heavenly land,
Walking in the good old way.

Refrain

Walking in the blessedness of love untold,
Traveling to a country that will ne'er grow old,
Jesus our Redeemer we shall there behold,
Home in the realms of day.

We are traveling on through a world of sin,
Walking in the good old way;
Though our foes are strong we have peace within,
Walking in the good old way.

Refrain

We are traveling on in the Master's Name,
Walking in the good old way;
And we sing His praise with a loud acclaim,
Walking in the good old way.

Refrain

We are traveling on to the rolling tide,
Walking in the good old way;
But we trust in Him who is still our Guide,
Walking in the good old way.
