I
SOME WONDERFUL DAY WE'RE LEAVING FOR GLORY.
I'M GOING WHERE TIME AND ETERNITY MEETS.
WE MAY SEE A SIGN CITY LIMITS OF HEAVEN.
PREPARE FOR A CHANCE TO ENTER THE GATE.
CHORUS
THIS CITY IS PURE THERE'S NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS.
THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST ABOUNDS EVERYWHERE.
ON TO OF THE HILL AND DOWN BY THE RIVER.
SOME DAY I WILL JOIN THAT HEAVENLY CHOIR.
II
WE'LL LEAVE ALL OUR CARES AND OUR EARTHLY POSSESSIONS.
THE BURDENS OF LIFE AND THE TIMES WE HAVE CRIED.
NOT EVEN THE HOUSE OF THE BODY WE LIVE IN WE'LL HAVE
TO CHANGE CLOTHES WHILE ON THE OUTSIDE.
III
I'M READY TO CLAIM A WARDROBE IN HEAVEN
TAILORED FOR ME AND JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
I'LL DRESS LIKE A KING AND WALK WITH THE ANGELS
GOOD MORNING UP THERE AND NEVER GOOD-BYES.
