The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#98

98. We're traveling home to heaven above: Will you go? Will you go?

1 We’re traveling home to heaven above: Will you go? Will you go?
To sing the Saviour’s dying love: Will you go?
Millions have reach'd that blest abode,
Anointed kings and priests to God,
And millions more are on the road: Will you go?

2 We're going to walk the plains of light: Will you go? Will you go?
Far, far from death, and curse, and night: Will you go?
The crown of life we then shall wear,
The conqueror's palm we then shall bear,
And all the joys of heaven we'll share: Will you go?

3 The way to heaven is straight and plain: Will you go?
Repent, believe, be born again? Will you go?
The Saviour cries aloud to thee,
"Take up thy cross and follow me,
And thou shalt my salvation see:" Will you go?

4 Oh, could I hear some sinner say, "I will go."
Oh, could I hear him humbly pray, "Make me go."
And all his old companions tell,
"I will not go with you to hell;
I long with Jesus Christ to dwell. Let us go."
