Representative Text

1 Often I hear of heaven,
Wonderful country somewhere,
Beautiful city of glory,
Land of delight so fair,
Eden the home of Jesus,
There He has gone to prepare me a place,
In heaven with Him up there.

Refrain:
Home ever yonder,
Beautiful home somewhere,
Oh, wonderful, beautiful home,
Some day I am going there.

2 Often I sing the story,
Beautiful story so sweet,
Of this fair city of glory,
Where the redeemed once meet;
Some day when Jesus calls me,
Then shall I go to that home of the blest,
My joy will then be complete. [Refrain]

3 Often I think of heaven,
Beautiful, lovely and fair,
Home of my blessed redeemer,
Beautiful home somewhere;
Blessed Redeemer's coming,
Coming with angels to carry me home,
To live with Him ever there. [Refrain]
