Farewell, vain world, I'm going home
My Savior smiles and bids me come
And I don't care to stay here long
Sweet angels beckon me away
To sing God's praise in endless day
And I don't care to stay here long
Right up yonder
Christians, away up yonder
O, yes, my Lord
For I don't care to stay here long
I'm glad that I am born to die
From grief and woe my soul shall fly
And I don't care to stay here long
Bright angels shall convey me home
Away to New Jerusalem
And I don't care to stay here long
Right up yonder
Christians, away up yonder
O, yes, my Lord
For I don't care to stay here long
Right up yonder
Christians, away up yonder
O, yes, my Lord
For I don't care to stay here long
