I'm Going That Way - want publ date

I have the words and who wrote the words and music. I would like to find the year this song was first published. James Rowe lived from 1865 to 1933. I suspect it was published in his lifetime (?).

I'M GOING THAT WAY Key: Bb 12/8
Words: James Rowe Music: L B Register (year?)

1. I've heard of a land of joy and peace and wonderful light;
A beautiful place of mansions fair and skies ever bright;
Where all who believe the Savior dear, forever shall stay;
And having been saved by grace divine, I'm going that way.

Chorus:
I'm going that way, I'm going that way;
And Jesus the Savior I adore, is with me each day;
I'm clinging to Him, and never to stray,
Yes, singing His praises all day long, I'm going that way.

2. The glorious news I tell and sing, as onward I go;
That those who are still astray in sin my Savior may know;
I want them to sing His praise above, some beautiful day;
For glory to Him who died for me, I'm going that way.

3. I know I shall meet Him at the gate, when trials are past;
I know I shall meet Him face to face in glory at last;
And, O I believe that when we meet "well done" He will say;
For trusting His soul-redeeming love, I'm going that way.

Well, here's a clue: It appears in a Stamps-Baxter Hymnal dated 1939, pg 132, "Favorite Songs & Hymns". At the time it was printed with permission from L. B. Register. (I found it at archive.org )
