Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

In this world we have our troubles
Satan's snares we must evade
We'll be free from all temptations
Where the roses never fade

Verse 3

Loved ones gone to be with Jesus
In their robes of white arrayed
Now are waiting for my coming
Where the roses never fade
