When We All Get to Heaven

Lyrics by
Eliza Edmunds Hewitt (1898)
Music by
Emily D. Wilson (1898)
Tune
HEAVEN · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
Revelation 21:3-4
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.
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.
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.

A nineteenth-century Gospel hymn celebrating the joy of eternal life with Christ.
