From Egypt's bondage come,
Where death and darkness reign,
We seek a new, a better home,
Where we our rest shall gain :
Hallelujah !
We are on our way to God.
There sin and sorrow cease,
And every conflict's o'er;
There we shall dwell in endless peace,
And never hunger more :
Hallelujah !
We are on our way to God.
There in celestial strains
Enraptured myriads sing;
There love in every bosom reigns,
For God Himself is King :
Hallelujah !
We are on our way to God.
We soon shall join the throng.
Their pleasures we shall share,
And sing the everlasting song
With all the ransomed there:
Hallelujah !
Bring us safe to Thee, O God!
