1 They tell me of a country
Where all is bright and fair;
Where Jesus has a mansion
For all who enter there.
The streets are filled with music,
The courts are filled with song,
There's room for you, my brother, there,
O come, go along.
Chorus:
O won't you go, my brother,
To join that white-robed throng?
There's room enough in heaven,
O come, go along.
2 Our dear ones there are waiting
To take us by the hand,
When we have passed earth's portals
And gained that happy land;
We'll never know a sorrow,
For heaven has no wrong,
But all is joy forever, there,
O come, go along. [Chorus]
3 The song they sing in heaven,
Before the great white throne,
Is just the same old story
That you and I have known.
We soon will join the chorus,
With voices clear and strong;
We'll sing the praise of Jesus there,
O come, go along. [Chorus]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
