Where the Roses Never Fade Music by Robert Metzgar Words by Janie West Metzgar, 1929
I am going to a city, Where the streets with gold are laid; Where the tree of life is blooming And the roses never fade.
Chorus: Here they bloom but for a season Soon their beauty is decayed. I am going to a city, Where the roses never fade. In this world we have our troubles, Satan snares we must evade. We'll be free from all temptations; Where the roses never fade.
Chorus: Here they bloom but for a season Soon their beauty is decayed. I am going to a city, Where the roses never fade. Loved ones gone to be with Jesus, In their robes of white arrayed; Now are waiting for my coming, Where the roses never fade.
Chorus: Here they bloom but for a season Soon their beauty is decayed. I am going to a city, Where the roses never fade.
