I'm Bound For That City

There's a city of light
 Where there cometh no night
 For the sun never sets in the sky
 In the Bible we're told
 That the streets are pure gold
 And a cool gentle river runs by
 I'm bound for that city
 God's holy white city
 Oh yes I am I'll never turn back
 To this world anymore anymore
 No matter how rough may be the way
 No matter how oft I stop to pray
 I'm bound for that city
 On that ever green ever green shore
 Little children will play
 And our hearts will be gay
 As we stroll through that city of gold
 No more dying up there
 No more sorrow to bear
 And nobody will be feeble and old
 Repeat Heaven will surely be worth it all
 Worth all the sorrows that here befall
 After this life with all its strife
 Heaven will surely be worth it all
 No matter how rough may be the way
 No matter how oft I stop to pray
 I'm bound for that city
 On that ever green ever green shore
 I'm bound for that city
 On that ever green ever green shore
