Songtexte I'm Going Home - Sacred Harp Singers

Farewell, vain world! I'm going home!
My savior smiles and bids me come,
And I don't care to stay here long!
Sweet angels beckon me away,
To sing God's praise in endless day,
And I don't care to stay here long!

()
Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.

I'm glad that I am born to die,
From grief and woe my soul shall fly,
And I don't care to stay here long!
Bright angels shall convey me home,
Away to New Jerusalem,
And I don't care to stay here long!

()
Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.

()
Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.
