...A world beyond this earthly home
there dwells another place
A point beyond the moon and stars
and somewhere lost in space.
A place where heavenly angels sing,
with flowing robes of white.
A place amongst the rainbows
and radiant beams of light
A place where peace and love is found
before the throne of God,
A place where splendid streets are paved
and saintly prophets trod
A place where darkness never comes
where everything is new,
A place that glows with holy light
and shines the whole day though
A place there is no tears to cry
there is no hurt or pain,
a place for us to praise our Lord
and never die again.
A place that boasts of mansions high,
mine eyes would soon behold
A place where Jesus calls on me
and waits on streets of gold.
