We're On the Way
H. G. Jackson • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 6:6
Verse 1
From Egypt’s cruel bondage fled, Obedient to our Lord’s command, And by His word and spirit led, We’re on the way to Canaan’s land!
Chorus
We’re on the way, a pilgrim band; We’re on the way to Canaan’s land; Divinely guided day by day, We’re on the way, we’re on the way.
Verse 2
Thro’ wildernesses wide and drear, Our Lord will guide our steps aright, Behold! to prove His presence here, The cloud by day, the fire by night!
Chorus
We’re on the way, a pilgrim band; We’re on the way to Canaan’s land; Divinely guided day by day, We’re on the way, we’re on the way.
Verse 3
His pow’r the smitten rock controls, A crystal stream our need supplies, He feeds our hungry, fainting souls With daily manna from the skies!
Chorus
We’re on the way, a pilgrim band; We’re on the way to Canaan’s land; Divinely guided day by day, We’re on the way, we’re on the way.
Verse 4
In hostile lands we feel no fear; No foe our onward march can stay; In ev’ry conflict He is near, Whose presence cheers us on the way.
Chorus
We’re on the way, a pilgrim band; We’re on the way to Canaan’s land; Divinely guided day by day, We’re on the way, we’re on the way.
Verse 5
Ere long, the river cross’d, we’ll meet The ransom’d host at His right hand; And there receive a welcome sweet, From our dear Lord to Canaan’s land!
Chorus
We’re on the way, a pilgrim band; We’re on the way to Canaan’s land; Divinely guided day by day, We’re on the way, we’re on the way.
