Watch ye therefore; you know not the day, when the Lord shall call your souls away
If you labor, striving for the right, you shall wear a golden crown.
And just as soon as my feet strike Zion, I’m gonna lay down my heavy burdens.
I’m gonna put on my robe in glory; I’m gonna shout and tell the story
of how I came over hills and mountains, and went up to the Christian fountains.
And all of God’s sons and daughters will be drinking the healing waters.
And I shall wear a golden crown.
I’m gonna move on up a little higher; I’m gonna meet with the Hebrew children.
I’m gonna move on up a little highter; I’m gonna meet with Ol’ man Daniel.
I’m going out sight seeing in Buelah; I’m gonna march around the alter.
I’m gonna walk and never tire; I’m gonna fly and never falter.
And I shall wear a golden crown.
Watch ye, therefore; you know not the day, when the Lord shall call your souls away
If you labor, striving for the right, you shall wear a golden crown!
