Onward rejoicing I tread life's way;
Higher I'm climbing each passing day;
Hilltops of glory now rise in view;
Where all shall be made new

(women) Hilltops of glory (men) I now can see
(women) O brother won't you (all) come go with me?
Safe on the mountain, I soon shall stand
Hilltops of glory land!

Way down in Egypt, mid burning sun;
Moses had started for Canaan's land;
Never turn backward, always ascend;
On to the journey's end

(women) Hilltops of glory (men) I now can see
(women) O brother won't you (all) come go with me?
Safe on the mountain, I soon shall stand
Hilltops of glory land!

Footsteps of Jesus before us lead,
We tread life's journey, His warnings heed;
Evil allurements cannot prevail;
I'm on the upward trail

(women) Hilltops of glory (men) I now can see
(women) O brother won't you (all) come go with me?
Safe on the mountain, I soon shall stand
Hilltops of glory land!
