- 1We read of a place that’s called heaven,It’s made for the pure and the free;These truths in God’s word He has given,How beautiful heaven must be.How beautiful heaven must be, (must be,)Sweet home of the happy and free;Fair haven of rest for the weary,How beautiful heaven must be.
- 2In heaven no drooping, nor pining,No wishing for elsewhere to be,God’s light is forever there shining,How beautiful heaven must be.How beautiful heaven must be, (must be,)Sweet home of the happy and free;Fair haven of rest for the weary,How beautiful heaven must be.
- 3Pure waters of life there are flowing,And all who will drink may be free;Rare jewels of splendor are glowing,How beautiful heaven must be.How beautiful heaven must be, (must be,)Sweet home of the happy and free;Fair haven of rest for the weary,How beautiful heaven must be.
