1 We are going, we are going, To a home beyond the skies, Where the fields are robed in beauty, And the sunlight never dies; Where the fount of joy is flowing In the valley green and fair, We shall dwell in love together; There will be no parting there. Refrain: We are going, we are going To a home beyond the skies, Where the fields are robed in beauty, And the sunlight never dies. 2 We are going, we are going, And the music we have heard Like the echo of the woodland, Or the carol of a bird; With the rosy light of morning On the calm and fragrant air, Still it murmurs, softly murmurs, There will be no parting there. [Refrain] 3 We are going, we are going, When this mortal life is o’er, To that pure and happy region Where our friends have gone before; They are singing with the angels In that land so bright and fair; We shall dwell with them forever; There will be no parting there. [Refrain]
