There’s a beau­ti­ful place called Hea­ven,
It is hid­den above the bright blue;
Where the good, who from earth ties are ri­ven,
Live and love an eter­ni­ty thro’.

Refrain

Above the bright blue, the beau­ti­ful blue,
Jesus is wait­ing for me and for you;
Heaven is there, not far from our sight,
Beautiful ci­ty of light.

This land of sweet rest awaits us;
Some day it will break on our view;
’Tis pro­mised by Christ the Re­deem­er,
To His fol­low­ers faith­ful and true.

Refrain

When He left His be­loved dis­ci­ples,
He said, as He bade them adieu,
I go to pre­pare you a man­sion,
And soon I’ll be send­ing for you.

Refrain

We know not when He shall call us,
Whether soon, the glad sum­mons shall be;
But we know, when we pass o’er the ri­ver,
The glo­ry of Je­sus we’ll see.
