When We All Get To Heaven
Sing the wonderous love of Jesus,Sing His Mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessedHe'll prepare for us a place.
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.
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when travelling days are over,Not a shadow, not a sigh
Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving everyday;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory,Will the toils of life repay
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.
The Pearly Gate
I am going to a home bright and fair,And by faith its pearly gates I see:
Soon I’ll be among the blest over there,For the gates will open wide for me.
Refrain:Open wide, open wide,
Oh, the gates will open wide for me;Open wide, open wide,
Yes, the gates will open wide for me.
There’s a mansion built for me over there,Soon my dwelling place in heav’n shall be,Which my Savior now has gone to prepare,
And the gates will open wide for me.
Let me hasten to my home over there,With my Savior evermore to be;
Then in spotless robes of white I’ll appear,For the gates will open wide for me.
Yes, I’ll enter through the gates by the bloodWhich my blessed Jesus shed for me:
He has washed me in the all-cleansing flood,And the gates will open wide for me.

Won’t It Be A Time
Won’t if be a time, when we get over yonder (x3)
Oh….. Won’t it be a timeWe’re gonna sing and shout,
dance all about,When we get over yonder (x3)
Oh….. Won’t it be a time
Hear My Cry O Lord
Hear my cry O Lord, Attend unto my prayerFrom the ends of the earth,
Will I cry unto TheeWhen my heart is overwhelmed, Lord, you lead
me to that rock,That is higher than I.
Thou has been O Lord, A shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy, For when my
heart is overwhelmed, Lord, you lead me to that rock, That is higher than I.
I will sing O Lord, Praise unto thee. For your joy is my strength, And your love it comforts
me, For when my heart is overwhelmedLord, you lead me to that rock
That is higher than I.

What A Friend We Have In Jesus
What a Friend we have in JesusAll our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carryEverything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit,O what needless pain we bear,All because we do not carryEverything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptationsIs there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouragedTake it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful,Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weaknessTake it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,Cumbered with a load of care
Precious Saviour, still our refugeTake it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee,Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,Thou wilt find a solace there.
Gleams Of The GoldenMorning
The golden morning is fast approaching;Jesus soon will come
To take His faithful and happy children, To their promised home.
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning, Piercing through this night of gloom! O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
That will burst the tomb.
The Gospel summons will soon be carried, To the nations round;
The Bridegroom then will cease to tarry, And the trumpet sound.
Attended by all the shining angels,Down the flaming sky, The Judge
will come, and will take His people, Where they will not die.
There those loved ones who have long been parted, Will all meet
that day; The tears of those who are brokenhearted,
Will be wiped away.
Hold the Forth
Ho! my comrades, see the signal, Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh!
Refrain:“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still,Wave the answer back to Heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”
See the mighty host advancing,Satan leading on;
Mighty men around us falling,Courage almost gone. [Refrain]
See the glorious banner waving, Hear the bugle blow;
In our Leader’s Name we triumph Over every foe. [Refrain]
Fierce and long the battle rages, But our help is near;
Onward comes our great Commander, Cheer, my comrades, cheer! [Refrain]
We're Marching To Zion
Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord, join in a song with sweet accord
and thus surround the throne,and thus surround the throne.
Refrain:We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
we're marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.
Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King, but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad,may speak their joys abroad.
The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields, before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets, or walk the golden streets.
Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry;
we're marching throughEmmanuel's ground,
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
to fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high. D

To my Dearest Children, Relatives, Friends and Loved OnesI am very sorry I had to leave you, Oh so dear, but you see,
The Master Called Me, His voice was very clear. I had a reservation, a heaven bound ticket for one.
He called me to my rest, since my work here on earth is done. I know your hearts are heavy because I’ve gone away,
but don’t grieve for me, for now I am free, I am following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call.
I turned my back and left it all. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full,
I’ve savored much. Good friends, Good times, a loved one’s touch. I could not stay another day to laugh,
to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. If my parting has left void, them please fill it with remembered joy,
a friendship shared, a laugh, a song, a kiss, ah yes, these things will be missed. Perhaps my time seemed all too briefed,
but don’t lighten it now with undue grief. My pains and suffering are no more. Lift up your heart
and share with me. God has put me to rest, and now I am sleeping peacefully awaiting for his soon return to
take me home to spend the ceaseless days of eternity with him and all my loved ones. Let us all plan to meet there.
