There’ll be some­thing in Heav­en
For child­ren to do,
None are idle in that bless­èd land.
There’ll be loves for the heart,
There’ll be thoughts for the mind,
And em­ploy­ment for each lit­tle hand.

Refrain

There’ll be some­thing to do;
There’ll be some­thing to do;
There’ll be some­thing for child­ren to do;
On the bright shin­ing shore,
Where there’s joy ev­er­more,
There’ll be some­thing for child­ren to do.

There’ll be les­sons to learn
Of the wis­dom of God,
As they wan­der the green mea­dows o’er;
And they’ll have for their teach­ers
In that blest abode,
All the good that have gone there be­fore.

Refrain

There’ll be er­rands of love
From the mea­dows above,
To the dear ones that lin­ger be­low;
And it may be our Fa­ther
The child­ren will send
To be an­gels of mer­cy in woe.
