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;
Oh, 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;
Oh, yes, my Lord,
for I don’t care to stay here long.
