Home to Zion we are bound,
Happy in the love of Jesus,
Peace abiding we have found,
Happy in the love of Jesus.
Refrain
Happy, happy,
Singing all the way,
Happy all the day;
Happy, happy,
Happy in the love of Jesus.
Trusting we will forward go,
Happy in the love of Jesus,
Treading changeful paths below,
Happy in the love of Jesus.
Refrain
We will sing salvation’s song,
Happy in the love of Jesus,
All our earthly way along,
Happy in the love of Jesus.
Refrain
Soon we’ll reach the homeland fair,
Happy in the love of Jesus,
And shall dwell forever there,
Happy in the love of Jesus.
