Verse 1

Well, I was tested by the tempter, 

I was tested by the throng.  

I was burdened with my sorrow and old Satan did me wrong. 

But when my feet did falter my Saviour heard me pray. 

He said tell them when you saw me I was on my way. 


Chorus

Well, just tell them when you saw me I was on my way.

I was climbing up the mountain to the land of endless day.

With my face toward the sunrise and the shadows all behind.

Just tell them when you saw me I was on my way. 


Verse 2

Now if you should get to Heaven before I see that land.

You just listen to the angels and then join that singing band.

And when you see my Savior in the land of endless day.

Just tell Him when you saw me I was on my way.
