Lyrics
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,
Nor wishing for else where 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.

4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
