I’d Like to Live There with You

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.

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.

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.

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.
