[Solo] I'm on my journey up Zion's hill,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus,
[Solo] The way grows brighter and Brighter still
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus.
CHORUS: Jesus, Jesus,
All the way long it is Jesus
Jesus, Jesus,
Why, all the way long it is Jesus!
[Solo] And oh, how happy the pilgrim's lot,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus,
[Solo] He has a comfort the world has not
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus.
[Solo] Let storm-clouds gather and troubles rise,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus,
[Solo] He seeks a city with cloudless skies,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus.
[Solo] At home the pilgrim's together will sing,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus,
[Solo] We'll make the heavenly mansions ring,
[Group] All the way 'long it is Jesus.
