I am going to a city

Where the streets with gold are laid

Where the tree of life is blooming

And the roses never fade

Here they bloom but

For a season

Soon their beauty is decayed

I am going to a city

Where the roses never fade

In this world we have our troubles

Satans snare we must evade

We'll be free from all temptations

Where the roses never fade

Here they bloom but

For a season

Soon their beauty is decay

I am going to a city

Where the roses never fade

Loved one's gone to be with Jesus

In their robes of white parade

Now are waiting for my coming

Where the roses never fade

Here they bloom but

For a season

Soon their beauty is decay

I am going to a city

Where the roses never fade

Here they bloom but

For a season

Soon their beauty is decay

I am going to a city

Where the roses never fade
