1 When I have ended my pilgrimage here,
When the glad songs of the ransomed I hear;
If I may look on my Saviour so dear,
That will be heaven enough for me.
Refrain:
That will be heaven enough for me,
When I my Saviour and King shall see;
Transformed by His grace I shall look on His face,
That will be heaven enough for me.
2 When all life’s bridges at last have been spanned,
When I shall reach immortality land;
If by the throne of my Lord I may stand,
That will be heaven enough for me. [Refrain]
3 When in that city whose streets are pure gold,
I shall rejoice while the ages unfold;
If I the face of my King shall behold,
That will be heaven enough for me. [Refrain]
4 There in that homeland of peace I shall rest,
Where naught shall enter to grieve nor molest;
Close to my Lord I shall dwell and be blest,
That will be heaven enough for me. [Refrain]
