How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

Author: Mrs. A. S. Bridgewater Hymnal: Church Hymnal #105 (1951) First Line: We read of a place that's called heaven Lyrics: 1 We read of a place that’s called heaven, It’s made for the pure and the free; These truths in God’s Word He hath given, How beautiful heaven must be. Refrain: How beautiful heaven must be, Sweet home of the happy and free; Fair haven of rest for the weary, How beautiful heaven must be. 2 In heaven no drooping nor pining, No wishing for elsewhere to be; God’s light is forever there shining, How beautiful heaven must be. [Refrain] 3 Pure waters of life there are flowing, And all who will drink may be free; Rare jewels of splendor are glowing, How beautiful heaven must be. [Refrain] 4 The angels so sweetly are singing, Up there by the beautiful sea; Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing, How beautiful heaven must be. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We read of a place that's called heaven]
