Verse 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!
Verse 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
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!
Verse 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
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!
Verse 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
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!
