A Home Up in Heaven

Representative Text

1 My Savior ascended to heaven,
A mansion for me to prepare;
He's coming some day in His glory
And take me to dwell with Him there.

Refrain:
A home up in heaven
Prepared for the pure and the true,
A crown will be given,
I mean to receive it, don't you?

2 I've loved ones and friends over yonder,
Awaiting my coming up there,
And soon I shall join them some morning,
The joys of that home we shall share. [Refrain]

3 No sickness nor death there can enter,
We'll live while the ages shall roll
And praise the dear Savior who purchased
This wonderful home of the soul. [Refrain]
