There are heavenly pleasures away from all sin

Representative Text

1 There are heavenly pleasures away from all sin,
Where love and contentment are ruling within,
And out of God's storehouse love flows in a stream
From mansions in glory at the end of my dream.

Chorus:
At the end of my cream is a city of gold,
And heavenly beauties too great to be told;
Where rivers of love gently flow in a stream,
And life is eternal at the end of my dream.

2 There's a choir of great singers, a harp and a crown,
A robe of God's beauty with glory around,
A place filled with people whose souls are redeemed
There's a wonderful palace at the end of my dream. [Chorus]

3 Yes, an old fashioned mother stands there by the door,
With a sweet smile of welcome as in days of yore,
And a stately old father whose face love-light beams,
There's a homecoming welcome at the end of my dreams. [Chorus]

4 There's a loving Redeemer now waiting for me,
Whose blood paid my ransom on Calvary's tree
Since I drink at the fount of this life-giving stream,
I shall see my dear Savior at the end of my dream. [Chorus]

E. M. Bartlett was born December 24, 1883 in Waynesville, Missouri. His family later moved to Sebastian County, Arkansas. Bartlett received training as a music teacher and was a leader in developing Southern gospel music. He was employed by Central Music Company, a publisher of shape note singing books based in Hartford, which was owned by David Moore and Will H. Ramsey. Bartlett persuaded Moore and John A.

He provided opportunities for many songwriters and musicians in gospel music, including Albert E. Brumley. In 1939 he suffered a stroke and afterwards wrote "Victory in Jesus."
