Christian Hymns ‎#113

113. Above The Bright Blue

1 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'.

Chorus:
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.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 When He left His beloved disciples,
He said, as He bade them adieu,
"I go to prepare you a mansion,
"If I go I'll be coming for you." [Chorus]

4 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. [Chorus]
