Don’t You Want to Go?

Don’t you want to go to

That hap­py home on high?

Where the good shall meet

Yes meet to part no more.

And shall live and reign

Far above the star­ry sky.

In that sun­ny clime

Upon the gold­en shore.

Don’t you want to go?

Don’t you want to go?

While we plead and pray

Make the start to­day;

Jesus bids you come

To that hap­py home:

Don’t you want to go?

Don’t you want to go?

Think how ma­ny pray­ers

Have been of­fered up for you:

Often while you slept

Dear mo­ther’s tears did flow.

Turn and seek sal­va­tion

O to her love be true.

While your friends are wait­ing

Don’t you want to go?

Time is swift­ly pass­ing

and

Soon will close the gate.

Then your soul must sink

In ev­er­last­ing woe;

Give your heart to Je­sus

For soon ’twill be too late.

Mother now is wait­ing

Don’t you want to go?

Could you stand in judg­ment

If you should die to­day?

All that you have writ­ten

You must face

you know.

Jesus now is plead­ing

He’ll wash your sins away.

To that home in glo­ry

Don’t you want to go?
