Lyrics:

I am going to a city
Where the streets are golden 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
Satan snares we must evade
We will free from all temptation
Where the roses never fade

Loved one's gone to be with Jesus
In their robes of white array
They 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
