Some one will enter
the pearly gates—
By and by, by and by,
Taste of the glories
that there await,
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will travel
the streets of gold,
Beautiful visions
will there behold,
Feast on the pleasures
so long foretold:
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will gladly
his cross lay down
By and by, by and by,
Faithful approved,
shall receive a crown,
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone the glorious King will see,
Ever from sorrow of earth be free,
Happy with Him thro’ eternity:
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will knock
when the door is shut
By and by, by and by,
Hear a voice saying,
“I know you not,”
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will call
and shall not be heard,
Vainly will strive
when the door is barred,
Someone will fail
of the saint’s reward:
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will sing
the triumphant song
By and by, by and by,
Join in the praise with
the blood-bought throng,
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
Someone will greet
on the golden shore
Loved ones of earth
who have gone before,
Safe in the glory forevermore:
Shall you? shall I?
Shall you? shall I?
