When we hear ol' Gabriel's trumpet blow
And we know the hand of God is surely nigh
My new hallelujah song I'll sing
Shouting praises to the King
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my Dad and Mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.
When the pearly gates will open wide
And the Saviour will lead us safe inside
God will wipe away all tears
No more sorrow no more fears
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my Dad and Mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.
There's a mansion waiting for me there
It was built by my Jesus up on high
How the tears of joy now flow
As I gladly onward go
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
Happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my Dad and Mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky...
As I travel thru this pilgrim land
There is a Friend who walks with me,
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand,
It is the Christ of Calvary;
This would be my pray'r, Dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can,
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand,
Yes, I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Thru this land, this pilgrim land
(Protect me) by Thy saving pow'r;
Hear my plea, my feeble plea,
Lord, Dear Lord, look down on me,
When I kneel in prayer,
I hope to meet you there,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
As I travel thru this valley dim
Toward the setting of the sun,
Lead me safely to a land of rest
If I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, Dear Lord,
That I may reach the golden strand,
There's no other friend on whom I can depend,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand,
Yes, I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Thru this land, this pilgrim land
(Protect me) by Thy saving pow'r;
Hear my plea, my feeble plea,
Lord, Dear Lord, look down on me,
When I kneel in prayer,
I hope to meet you there,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
