A few more days of sorrow,
And the Lord will call us home,
To walk the golden streets
Of the new Jerusalem.
Sing, brethren, sing, rejoice with joy and gladness;
Sing, brethren, sing, your songs of triumph bring.
(Chorus)
Rise, brethren, rise, your souls by faith ascending,
Rise, brethren, rise, your home is in the skies.
Pray, brethren, pray, on God your spirit stay.
