  1. 1Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,Sing His mercy and His grace:In the mansions bright and blessed,He’ll prepare for us a place. (for us a place.)When we all (When we all) get to heaven,What a day of rejoicing that will be!(What a day of rejoicing that will be!)When we all see Jesus, (When we all)We’ll sing and shout the victory.(and shout the victory.)
  2. 2While we walk the pilgrim pathway,Clouds will overspread the sky;But when trav’ling days are over,Not a shadow, not a sigh. (not a sigh.)When we all (When we all) get to heaven,What a day of rejoicing that will be!(What a day of rejoicing that will be!)When we all see Jesus, (When we all)We’ll sing and shout the victory.(and shout the victory.)
  3. 3Let us then be true and faithful,Trusting, serving ev’ry day;Just one glimpse of Him in gloryWill the toils of life repay.

  4. 4Onward to the prize before us!Soon His beauty we‘ll behold.Soon the pearly gates will open,We shall tread the streets of gold. (streets of gold.)When we all (When we all) get to heaven,What a day of rejoicing that will be!(What a day of rejoicing that will be!)When we all see Jesus, (When we all)We’ll sing and shout the victory.(and shout the victory.)
