I used to love hearing my Grandmother and her sisters sing this, but I can’t remember all of the lyrics to the verses. Google search doesn’t pull up anything. Surely someone on here will know it, I hope!
Thanks.
I have heard about a city grand
Yonder on the bright and shining strand
Built for those who all serve Him here
Praise His holy name I’m going there
Chorus:
I am going there oh yes I’m going there
Where the flowers bloom beyond compare
I’ll walk the streets of gold with saints of old
Oh I tell you now I’m going there
Up the narrow road where saints have trod
I’ll keep pressing on and thanking God
To a brighter world ——?——than this
Oh ——??————. (oh this trip I can’t afford to miss)? Maybe?
Chorus:
I am going there oh yes I’m going there
Where the flowers bloom beyond compare
I’ll walk the streets of gold with saints of old
Oh I tell you now I’m going there
Loved ones beckon me from heaven’s door
I can’t feel at home here anymore
There well never grow old —-??——
Sing forever more around God’s throne
Chorus again
I am going there?? (missing lyrics, please help!)

Re: I am going there?? (missing lyrics, please help!)
I think these are the missing lyrics
Up the narrow road where saints have trod
I’ll keep pressing on WITH FAITH IN God
To a brighter world MORE FAIR than this
Oh IT’S JOYS I can’t afford to miss
Loved ones beckon me from Heaven’s door
I can’t feel at home here anymore
WHERE WILL THERE grow old NOR DEATH’S NOT KNOWN
Sing forever more around God’s throne
Up the narrow road where saints have trod
I’ll keep pressing on WITH FAITH IN God
To a brighter world MORE FAIR than this
Oh IT’S JOYS I can’t afford to miss
Loved ones beckon me from Heaven’s door
I can’t feel at home here anymore
WHERE WILL THERE grow old NOR DEATH’S NOT KNOWN
Sing forever more around God’s throne
