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

Loved ones gone to be with Jesus
In their robes of white arrayed
Now are waiting for my coming
Where 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

Here they bloom but for a season
Soon their beauty is decayed
I am going to a city
Where the roses never fade
Where the roses never fade.
