I Am On My Way to Heaven

I am on my way to Heaven where the saints are robed in white
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
To that blessèd land immortal where can never come the night,
Shouting glory all the way!

Refrain

O glory, hallelujah!
I am on the way to Heaven,
Shouting glory, shouting glory
O glory, hallelujah!
I am on the way to Heaven,
Shouting glory, all the way!

I am on my way to Heaven where the streets are paved with gold,
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
To the place of many mansions and of glories yet untold,
Shouting glory all the way!

Refrain

I am on my way to Heaven, blessèd land of pure delight,
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
Where the blest of every nation are forever clothed in white,
Shouting glory all the way!

Refrain

I am on my way to Heaven where I’ll see my Savior’s face
Shouting glory, shouting glory!
There I’ll sing redemption’s story, blessèd song of saving grace,
Shouting glory all the way!

Refrain

This appears to be a late-19th or early-20th-century African-American gospel song in the shouting/spiritual tradition. No specific author is credited in common hymnals or songbooks; it is usually listed as traditional or anonymous. The style is reminiscent of composers such as E. M. Bartlett or similar camp-meeting writers, but no definitive attribution has been established.
