I Want to Go There

Author: Rev. D. S. Hymnal: Revival Praises #138 (1907) First Line: They tell of a city far up in the sky Refrain First Line: I want to go there, I want to go there Lyrics: 1 They tell of a city far up in the sky, I want to go there, I do; 'Tis built in the land of "the sweet by and by," I want to go there, don't you? There Jesus has gone to prepare us a home, I want to go there, I do; Where sickness nor sorrow nor death ever come, I want to go there, don't you? Refrain: I want to go there, I want to go there, I want to go there, I do; I want to go there, I want to go there, I want to go there, don't you? 2 Its gates are all pearl, its streets are all gold, I want to go there, I do; The Lamb is the light of that city we're told, I want to go there, don't you? Death robs us all here, there none ever die, I want to go there, I do; Where loved ones will never again say good-bye, I want to go there, don't you? Refrain: I want to go there, I want to go there, I want to go there, I do; I want to go there, I want to go there, I want to go there, don't you? 3 When the old ship of Zion shall make her last trip, I want to be there, I do; With heads all uncovered to greet the old ship, I want to be there, don't you? When all the ship's company meet on the strand, I want to be there, I do; "With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands," I want to be there, don't you? Refrain: I want to be there, I want to be there, I expect to be there, I do; I want to be there, I want to be there, I expect to be there, don't you? 4 When Jesus is crowned the King of all kings, I want to be there, I do; With shouting and clapping till all heaven rings, I want to be there, don't you? Hallelujah! we'll shout again and again, I want to be there, I do; And close with the chorus, Amen, and Amen, I want to be there, don't you? Refrain: I want to be there, I want to be there, I expect to be there, I do; I want to be there, I want to be there, I expect to be there, don't you?
