I am going there?? (missing lyrics, please help!)

Post by Rmr45 » Mon Dec 21, 2020 6:32 am

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 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
