LyicsI love to think of heaven,
Where white-robed angels are,
Where many a friend is gathered, safe
From fear, and toil, and care.
I love to think of heaven,
Where my Redeemer reigns,
Where rapturous songs of triumph rise,
In endless, joyous strains.
I love to think of heaven,
The saints' eternal home,
Where palms, and robes, and crowns ne'er fade,
And all our joys are one.
I love to think of heaven,
The greetings there we'll meet,
The harps-the songs forever ours-
The walks-the golden streets.
