Come oh, these ancient sinners
Whom by salvation saves
And journey with me down below
Until you're at papa's grave
Fear not fire and brimstone
Oh, fear not, Satan's minions
Toiling for you here below
They care not for your opinion
Oh, the winds may howl and the ocean boil
Fire burning, ice will freeze you
Welcome those who welcome you
As they come forth to greet you
And who of us will linger here? (Who of us will linger here?)
And say all is forgiven (and say all is forgiven)
Even those who dwell below (even those who dwell below)
Will sometimes dream of heaven
Yeah, all you pious pilgrims
Who toil upon the will
Believing in appearances
With your missionary zeal
Like dry branches in the forest
Are suddenly in flames
All the kings who rule this world
Will likely fall again
And who of us will linger here? (Who of us will linger here?)
And say all is forgiven (and say all is forgiven)
Even those who dwell below (even those who dwell below)
Will sometimes dream of heaven
