16242. The Garden Of Our Lord

1 Will you go? Will you go to that beautiful city?
The flowers are in bloom, and the leaves never fade;
Where the rivers of peace thro’ the valleys are flowing,
And all in the sunlight of God is arrayed.

Refrain:
We’ll walk by the side of Emanuel there,
And roam with delight in His garden so fair;
We’ll praise and adore Him our loving Redeemer,
Who gathers us home in His glory to share.
Will you go? Will you go?
Will you go? Will you go?

2 There our friends that the footsteps of Jesus have followed,
And cared for His lost ones while with us below,
Are waiting for us on the banks of the river,
And tenderly calling, “Oh say, will you go?” [Refrain]

3 There the Lord in His garden will crown us with jewels,
If we have been faithful to gather them here,
And oh, when we enter our beautiful mansion,
He’ll wipe from our eyes every sad parting tear. [Refrain]
