36. Treasures in Heaven

1 Have we laid up our treasures in heaven?
The land where no moth shall consume,
No beautiful links shall be riven,
No frost blight the lily’s fair bloom.

Refrain:
Wonderful treasures, heavenly pleasures,
Never to perish, nor fade away;
Wonderful treasures, heavenly pleasures,
Are we laying up treasures today?

2 Have we laid up our treasures by caring
For those who are lonely and sad?
Each gift and each happiness sharing,
To make others grateful and glad. [Refrain]

3 Have we laid up our treasures by trusting
The Father, whose help is no nigh?
Our lives to his counsel adjusting,
And serving the Master on high? [Refrain]

4 Have we laid up our treasures in heaven,
Rich treasures of faith, hope and love?
If so, what bright stars shall be given,
What blessings await us above! [Refrain]
