Representative Text

1 Sing the wonderous love of Jesus;
sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions, bright and blessed,
He'll prepare for us a place.

Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus, w
e'll sing and shout the victory!

2 While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
clouds will overspread the sky;
but when trav'ling days are over,
not a shadow, not a sigh! [Refrain]

3 Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving ev'ry day.
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
will the toils of life repay. [Refrain]

4 Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we'll behold.
Soon the pearly gates will open;
we shall tread the streets of gold. [Refrain]
