Lyrics
- VERSE 1
- Should I get to heaven, my friend, ahead of you
- And look around on that breath taking view
- After thanking my Lord for what His grace doth afford
- Now this, my friend, is what I plan to do
-
- CHORUS
- I’m going to stand on some high green hill
- Overlooking those great gates of pearl
- And then when I see you come shouting through
- Then I will say I knew it would pay to overcome the world
-
- VERSE 2
- I want to show you around
- Where those great sites are found
- Beautiful faces, happy faces
- And the merchant Jesus gave me
- But first I will take you with me
- To what you belonging to see
- Sweet Jesus on that great mercy throne
-
- VERSE 3
- Now I’ll sure be watching
- When you make your debut
- For I am sure my Jesus will bring you through
- Keep your heart pure and clean
- And on His word daily lean
- And I, my friend, won’t watch in vain for you
-
- CHORUS
- I’m going to stand on some high green hill
- Overlooking those great gates of pearl
- And then when I see you come shouting through
- Then I will say I knew it would pay to overcome the world
-
- TAG
- Then we will say we knew
