When We All Get To Heaven

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,

Sing His mercy and His grace;

In the mansions bright and blessed

He’ll prepare for us a place.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway,

Clouds will overspread the sky;

But when trav’ling days are over,

Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Let us then be true and faithful,

Trusting, serving every day;

Just one glimpse of Him in glory

Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!

Soon His beauty we’ll behold;

Soon the pearly gates will open;

We shall tread the streets of gold.

Chorus

When we all get to heaven,

What a day of rejoicing that will be!

When we all see Jesus,

We’ll sing and shout the victory!

- Eliza E. Hewitt -

This glorious hope revives our courage for the way,

When each in expectation lives and longs to see the day

When from sorrow, toil, pain, and sin, we shall be free,

And perfect love and joy shall reign throughout all eternity.

- John Fawcett -

Our services of worship even now

should be a foretaste of that day of rejoicing

when those from every tribe, language, people, and nation

see our Lord and together,

"we'll sing and shout the victory."

Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

- 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 18 -

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: 

in thy presence is fulness of joy; 

at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

- Psalm 16:11 -

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, 

and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: 

they shall obtain joy and gladness, 

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

- Isaiah 35:10 -

In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, 

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 

that where I am, there ye may be also.

- John 14:2,3 -

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, 

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, 

then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, 

Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? 

O grave, where is thy victory?

The sting of death is sin; 

and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

- 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 -

The anticipation of heaven 

has often been described 

as the oxygen of the human soul.

Have a blessed and joyous Lord's Day, friends!
