I have a dear old mother, and a father gone on before They have gone to live with Jesus in that bright bright shining shore In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above If you live on Earth a Christian, and you die in the love of the Lord He will take you safe to Glory in that pearly white city above In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above Teach me thy way, oh Lord, and lead me in a prayin' path For I want to go to that secret, that pearly white city above In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above In that great Judgement morning, when the graves give up their dead We shall seek our loving Saviour with crowns upon our heads In that pearly white city called Heaven, in that pearly white city above
