Oh, my heart is full of music and of gladness, As on wings of love and faith I upward fly; Not a shadow-cloud my Savior’s face obscuring, While I’m climbing to my homestead in the sky.
Refrain: Oh, I’m climbing up the golden stair to Glory, Oh, I’m climbing with my golden crown before me, I am climbing in the light, I am climbing day and night, I shall shout with all my might when I get there! Oh, I’m climbing up the golden stair to Glory, Oh, I’m climbing with my golden crown before me, I am climbing in the light, I am climbing day and night, I am climbing up the golden stair!
Every day it seems I want to love Him better, Every day it seems I want to serve Him more, Every day I strive to climb the ladder faster, Every effort brings me nearer Canaan’s shore.
Oh, the joy of getting others to climb with me! Lost, despairing, brokenhearted, all may come; Calv’ry-love has made the stair a very wide one; Sinner, lay your burden down and hasten home.
