I am bound for that bright ci­ty
Where the streets are paved with gold,
Where in peace I’ll dwell for­ev­er,
O the joy can ne’er be told.

Refrain

Will you meet me ov­er yon­der,
And with hap­py mill­ions dwell?
Will you meet me ov­er yon­der,
Where we’ll nev­er say fare­well?

That will be a hap­py meet­ing
With the dear ones passed away;
O the joy of that re­un­ion
In that land of end­less day.

Refrain

Brother, say, how are you liv­ing?
Should He call for you to go,
Are you rea­dy for the sum­mons?
Is your robe as white as snow?

Refrain

There a man­sion is await­ing
For the ones who ov­er­come;
Soon life’s storms will pass for­ev­er,
And we’ll safe­ly reach our home.

Refrain
