715. When We All Get to Heaven

1 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.

Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout, and shout the victory!

2 While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav'ling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh. [Refrain]

3 Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving ev'ry day;
Just one glimpse of him in glory
Will the toils of life repay. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
