Heavenly Places

Verse 1

How sweet to be sitting in places all heavenly, Under the shadow of infinite love; Enjoying the waters of life everlasting, That flow from the fountain above.

Chorus

Heavenly places, heavenly places, Sitting together in heavenly places, In Jesus Christ our Lord.

Verse 2

The heart may be weary with burdens while wandering Thro’ earth’s dark wilderness, looking for light; But riches or grace in the Saviour outnumbering, Cheer to the realms of delight.

Verse 3

E’en mem’ry grows dear of bereavement that burden us, Anthems of sorrow are brightened to song; The gates of the city Celestial are opened To welcome the weary ones home.
