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 the victory!

2.	While we walk the pilgrim pathway, 
	clouds will overspread the sky; 
	but when traveling days are over, 
	not a shadow, not a sigh.
	(Refrain)

3.	Let us then be true and faithful, 
	trusting, serving every 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)
