No. 124. Hail ! Hail !

Hail! Hail!
I'll tell you when I get over,
Hail1 Hail!
You know I can't stay here.

1
John the Baptist did declare,
You know I can't stay here,
That none but the righteous would be there,
You know I can't stay here.
2
When I get my golden shoes,
You know I can't stay here,
I'll walk about heav'n and tell the news,
You know I can't stay here.
3
When I get in the middle of the air,
You know I can't stay here,
Not a sinner will be there,
You know I can't stay here.
