C 
I am going to a city  
G7                           C 
Where the streets are golden laid 
  
Where the tree of life is blooming  
G7                  C 
And the roses never fade 
  
F                         C 
Here they bloom but for a season  
G7                   C 
Soon their beauty is decayed 
  
I am going to a city  
G7                    C 
Where the roses never fade 
  
  
In this world we have our troubles 
G7                   C 
Satan snares we must evade 
  
We will free from all temptation 
G7                    C 
Where the roses never fade 
  
  
Loved one's gone to be with Jesus  
G7                      C 
In their robes of white array 
  
They are waiting for my coming  
G7                    C 
Where the roses never fade 
  
F                         C 
Here they bloom but for a season  
G7                   C 
Soon their beauty is decayed 
  
I am going to a city  
G7                    C 
Where the roses never fade
