718. Good News!

Refrain:
Good news! The chariot's coming.
Good news! The chariot's coming.
Good news! The chariot's coming,
And I don't want it to leave-a me behind.

1 There's a long white robe in the heaven, I know.
A long white robe in the heaven, I know.
There's a long white robe in the heaven, I know,
And I don't want it to leave me behind. [Refrain]

2 There's a pair of wings...
3 There's a pair of shoes...
4 There's a starry crown...
5 There's a golden harp...
