5 -4 4 4 -6 -6 6 5
I am going to a city
-4 -4 6 6 -5 -4 5
Where the streets with gold are laid
5 -4 4 4 -6 -6 6 5
Where the tree of life is blooming
-4 -4 6 6 -5 -4 4
And the roses never fade
Chorus:
-6 -6 -5 -5 -6 -6 6 5
Here they bloom but for a season
-4 -4 6 6 -5 -4 5
Soon their beauty is decayed
5 -4 4 4 -6 -6 6 5
I am going to a city
-4 -4 6 6 -5 -4 4
Where the roses never fade
Verse 2:
In this world we have our troubles
Satan’s snares we must evade
We’ll be free from all temptations
Where the roses never fade
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Loved ones gone to be with Jesus
In their robes of white arrayed
Now are waiting for my coming
Where the roses never fade
(Chorus)
