1. I’m on my way to heaven above,
Where all are free from care;
A land of rest and perfect love
And joy without a tear.

2. There none are sick with feeble frame,
No sad and downcast soul;
There perfect health and youth remain,
Forever, we are told.

 

3. No beggars on that golden street,
No blind to lead about;
No funeral train we there shall meet,
For death is there cast out.

4. No children there with parents dead,
No crepe upon the door;
No weeping mourners ever tread
Upon that golden shore.

 

5. No one in heaven is denied
The freedom of that land;
For Jesus purchased when he died
That place for every man.

6. No parting word or sad farewell
Is heard in all that clime,
For those who with their Savior dwell
Are happy all the time.
