A Child's Song of Heaven

Chorus

I want to go to Heaven, that Home so bright and fair; So beautiful, and—best of all—Dear Jesus will be there!

Verse 1

I want to see the city away beyond the sky, With pearly gates and walls of shining stones so great and high; Beside the crystal river there is a fruitful tree; And, oh, I want to see the mansions made for you and me!

Verse 2

I never will get hurt there, I’ll never have to cry; No pain or sickness there in Heav’n, and none will ever die; There Satan cannot tempt me to even once be bad, For sin can never enter Heav’n—I’ll be so safe, so glad!

Verse 3

I’ll see old Noah, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Paul, And all the millions since that time who gave to God their all; The many little children who’ve died before they’re old Are singing ’round the throne of God, and play on streets of gold!

Verse 4

Oh, there I’ll be so happy with friends both old and young; The lame and blind, now healed and well, praise God in endless song; The angels too will join us; and dressed in spotless white, We’ll not get tired of praising God, for there there is no night!
