• Lyrics:
  One by one the saints are going
  To their heavenly home above,
  Where the peaceful streams are flowing,
  Where there's endless light and love.
  
  chorus:
  Where the sunshine ever lingers,
  In that happy land so fair,
  Just beyond death's gloomy river,
  One by one they'll gather there.
  
  All the heart and life bestowing,
  In the service of their Lord.
  One by one the saints are going,
  To receive their blest reward.
  
  Drop by drop the streams are flowing,
  Flowing onward to the sea;
  One by one the saints are going,
  To a vast eternity.
  
  One by one the saints are going,
  In the bliss of heaven to share,
  Where the light of life is glowing,
  Soon they'll rest forever there.
