9907. Heaven Holds All To Me

1 Earth holds no treasures but perish with using,
However precious they be;
Yet there’s a country to which I am going:
Heaven holds all to me.

Refrain:
Heaven holds all to me,
Brighter its glory will be;
Joy without measure will be my treasure:
Heaven holds all to me.

2 Out on the hills of that wonderful country,
Happy, contented and free,
Loved ones are waiting and watching my coming:
Heaven holds all to me. [Refrain]

3 Why should I long for the world with its sorrows,
When in that home o’er the sea,
Millions are singing the wonderful story?
Heaven holds all to me. [Refrain]
