Children in Heaven

Representative Text

1 There is a glorious world of light,
Above the starry sky,
Where saints departed, clothed in white,
Adore the Lord most High.

Chorus:
And hark! amid the sacred songs
Those heavenly voices raise,
Ten thousand, thousand children join,
And all is perfect praise.

2 Those are the hymns that we shall know,
If Jesus we obey!
That is the place where we shall go,
If found in wisdom's way. [Chorus]

3 This is the joy we ought to seek,
And make our chief concern;
For this we come, from week to week,
To read, and hear, and learn. [Chorus]

4 Great God, impress us ev'ry day,
That nothing may allure;
But both the taught and teachers may
Make their salvation sure. [Chorus]
