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 Satan snares 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 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 I am going to a city Where the roses never fade
