1. They tell me of a city,
A city ever fair,
A bright and golden city,
Away over there.

Chorus:
I'm bound to be there,
I'm bound to be there,
I'm bound to view that city,
And all its glories share;
I'm bound to be there,
I'm bound to be there,
I'm bound to view that city,
And dwell forever there.

2. They say there's angels waiting
To welcome all who come
To dwell with them forever,
Away in that home.
Chorus

3. They say that to this city
Our friends have gone before,
And now with shining angels
Are safe evermore.
Chorus
