Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#11

11. Above the Bright Blue

1 There's a beautiful place called heaven,
It is hidden above the bright blue,
Where the good, who from earth-ties are riven,
Live and love an eternity through.

Refrain:
Above the bright blue, the beautiful blue,
Jesus is waiting for me and for you;
Heaven is there, not far from our sight,
Beautiful city of light.

2 This land of sweet rest awaits us,
Some day it will break on our view,
'Tis promised by Christ the Redeemer,
To His followers faithful and true. [Refrain]

3 We know not when He shall call us,
Whether soon, the glad summons shall be,
But we know, when we pass o'er the river,
The glory of Jesus we'll see. [Refrain]
