i am going where the means of grace shall cease where i need no more to fast or pray or seek i am going where no grief or fears can live no more tears or sorrow no more shame or sin where i m going there s no sickness no more death no unhappiness and i won t be back again i am going where i ll see the perfect sight find the sweetest food to fill my appetite where the music plays the finest melody for the soul that finds its happiness in thee i am going where i ll finally draw close with my body and my soul to the one i ve longed to know i am going where i shall be near to thee in thy kingdom dwelling with thy family and when i arrive i ll be satisfied this beginning of my life it s the heaven i desired
