The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
(chorus:)
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!
(chorus:)
Right up yonder, christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my lord, for i don't care to stay here long.
(chorus:)
Right up yonder, christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my lord, for i don't care to stay here long.
