I'm Homeward bound
  to a beautiful city;
As I leave earth,
  don't grieve or pity!

I'm on my way
  to a better place;
Far from all sin,
  and earth's rat race!

That's just my body,
  there lying in state;
My soul's in Heaven,
What a Glorious Fate!

So don't you cry,
  or mourn no more;
I'm walking now,
  down Heaven's shore!

Where I now live,
  there's nothing bad;
No sorrow or pain,
  not one soul sad!

Let me give a tour
  of the City I roam;
A mansion He built,
  for me to call Home!

Through Pearly gates,
  you'll see my city;
Nothin' on earth,
  even half as pretty!

Just step on in,
  and you'll be sold;
Very moment you see,
  you're walking on gold!

Just over that hilltop,
  by the Crystal Sea;
I live in that Mansion,
  so happy and free!

You'll see no darkness,
  'Ore this beautiful land;
Those Angels singing,
  just one of His bands!

So don't you worry,
  it's by God's grace;
I now reside,
  in this Glorious Place!
