On the Glory Road! On the Glory Road!
I’m gonna shed my sorrow on the Glory Road
I lay on my bed until one o’clock
The Lord come calling on his faithful flock.
And He called “Whoo-ee!” and He called “Whoo-ee!”
And I knew that the Saviour was calling me.
And He called “Whoo-ee!” and He called “Whoo-ee!”
And I cried “Master Jesus, are you calling me?”
And He called “Whoo-ee!” and He called “Whoo-ee!”
So I rose from my pallet and I cried “It’s me!”

The Lord says, “Brother, I’ve called you thrice”
“To ride along behind me up to paradise”
“On the Glory Road! On the Glory Road! On the Glory Road!”

So I climbed up on the saddle and I joined the load.
And the horse was longer than a thousand miles
His tail was lashing, and his hoofs were wild
His mane was flaming and his eyes were moons,
And his mouth kept singing Hallelujah tunes!

The Lord says, “Brother, take a look around”
There we were flying over miles of ground
Powerful hills, and mountains too,
And the earth and the people were dropped from view.
And I heard all around me how the spirits sang,
And the Lord sang louder than the whole she-bang!

The Lord said, “Brother, take a look again”
And there was the Devil, on the back of Sin,
A-bangin’ on that creature with his whip and showed,
That he was sure to catch us on the Glory Road!
I cried Lord, it’s the Devil, coming straight from Hell!
I can tell him, by his roaring and his brimstone smell!
But the Lord said, “Brother, he ain’t caught us yet!”
And He lashed and He hustled and He loosed the bit.
Then the Devil crept closer andI heard him yell,
“I’m gonna catch a sinner, for to roast in Hell!”
Ane I cried, “Lord, save me!” And the Lord cried, “Sure!”
And then we got to Heaven and he shut the door!

O Glory, Glory, Glory, how the angels sang!
O Glory, Glory, Glory, how the rafters rang!

And Moses, and Aaron, and Methusalum,
They shouted, they hollered, they beat the drum.
King Solomon kissed me and his thousand wives,
Just like they knew me, during all their lives!
The Lord said, “Brother, take a grandstand seat.
I guess you’re hungry; have a bite to eat”
And the ravens fed me, and Elijah prayed,
The Saved Ones gathered, while the organ played.
They cried, “Oh sinner, this is your abode
On the Glory Road, on the Glory Road.”
Cried the Lord, “No, brother, travel back
To help poor sinners up the Glory Track;
To help the wicked ones with all their wrongs,
By singing loud Hallelujah songs.”
Oh come, my brethren, get beside your load ,
And come to Heaven up the Glory Road,
Glory Road, Glory Road, Glory Road!
