It won't be long till I'll be leaving

It won't be long till I'll say goodbye

It won't be long till I'll be leaving

But I hope to meet you in the sky

Oh, I'm gonna join that heavenly van

I'm gonna join that heavenly van

Won't it be so bright and fair

When we meet loved ones up there

When we join that heavenly van

Won't it be so sweet to be with Jesus

After my burdens are laid down

This life on earth, I'd gladly exchange it

Exchange it for a starry crown

Oh, I'm gonna join that heavenly van

I'm gonna join that heavenly van

Won't it be so bright and fair

When we meet loved ones up there

When we join that heavenly van

Dear brother, be ready to meet your Savior

It won't be long, it maybe soon

We have no promise of tomorrow

So meet me their, there's plenty of room

Oh, I'm gonna join that heavenly van

I'm gonna join that heavenly van

Won't it be so bright and fair

When we meet loved ones up there

When we join that heavenly van
