LyicsWe're trav'ling home to heaven above,
Will you go? Will you go?
Millions have reached that blest abode,
Anointed kings and priests to God,
And millions more are on the road,
Will you go? Will you go?
We're going to see the bleeding Lamb,
Will you go?
In rapturous strains to praise his name,
Will you go?
The crown of life we there shall wear,
The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear,
Will you go?
We're going to join the heavenly choir,
Will you go?
To raise our voice and tune the tyre,
Will you go?
There saints and angels gladly sing
Hosanna to their God and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring,
Will you go?
Oh could I hear some sinner say,
I will go,
I'll start this moment--clear the way--
Let me go!
My old companions, fare you well,
I will not go with you to hell,
With Jesus Christ I mean to dwell--
Let me go--fare you well!
