I'm Bound For That City

There's a city of light
 Where cometh no night
 And 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
 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 shore
 Little children will play
 And our hearts will be gay
 As we stroll through the city of gold
 No more dying up there
 No more sorrows to bear
 For nobody will be feeble or old
 I'm bound for that city
 God's holy white city
 Oh yes I am
 I'll never turn back to this world 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 shore
