LyicsWe're trav'ling home to heaven above;
Will you go?
To sing the Saviour's dying love;
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?
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
And all the joys of heaven we'll share;
Will you go?
We're going to join the heavenly choir;
Will you go?
To raise our voice and tune the lyre;
Will you go?
There saints and angels gladly sing
Hosanna to their God and King,
And make the heavenly arches ring;
Will you go?
Ye weary, heavy-laden, come;
Will you go?
In the blest house there still is room;
Will you go?
The Lord is waiting to receive,
If thou wilt on him now believe,
He'll give thy troubled conscience ease;
Come, believe.
The way to heaven is straight and plain;
Will you go?
Believe, repent, 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;
Come to me."
O, 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! far you well.
