Beyond these dear hills
We shall soon pass away,
A bright, heav’n­ly coun­try to view;
Where Je­sus awaits
At the pear­ly white gates,
I’d like to live there with you.

Refrain

I’d like to live there,
I mean to live there,
With Je­sus our Sav­ior so true;
There safe in the fold
Where the streets are all gold,
I’d like to live there with you.

The years are so ma­ny
To spend in that home,
And hap­pi­ness there, ev­er new,
O won’t you pre­pare
That bright home now to share?
I’d like to live there with you.

Refrain

O come to the Sav­ior,
And wor­ship Him now,
For soon you must bid friends adieu;
Lest Je­sus pass by
And will hear not your cry,
I’d like to live there with you.

Refrain

We’ve passed many mile­stones
Together down here;
Up there, why not pass them anew?
And sing songs of love
In that ci­ty ab­ove,
I’d like to live there with you.
