Verse 1
We read of a place that’s called heaven, It's made for the pure and the free;These truths of God's word He has given, How beautiful heaven must be.
Verse 2
In heaven no drooping nor pining, No wishing for elsewhere to be; God's light is forever there shining, How beautiful heaven must be.
Verse 3
The angels so sweetly are singing, Up there by the beautiful sea; The song of redemption is ringing, How beautiful heaven must be.
Chorus
How beautiful heaven must be, Sweet home of the happy and free; Fair haven of rest for the weary, How beautiful heaven must be.
