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
