(1)
What a happy time some glad tomorrow
When we lay these heavy burdens down
In this lonsome valley . . . no more to roam
Having laboured on thru joy and sorrow
Hoping to receive that golden crown
It will all be glory . . . in that happy home.
(chorus)
In that beautiful city . . . of the sweet forever
Where the river of life . . . goes ebbing by
We’ll look upon the beauty . . . that fades no never
And happy we’ll be . . . while the ages fly.
(2)
Never more the soul will be repining
When we reach that happy resting place
In this lonsome valley . . . no more to roam
Yonder where the sun is always shining
We shall look upon his smiling face
It will all be glory . . . in that happy home.
(3)
Many precious loved ones will be waiting
Just across the river deep and wide
In this lonsome valley . . . no more to roam
Thru eternity no separating
Every heart will then be satisfied
It will all be glory . . . in that happy home.
