Had a vision of heaven, what these eyes did see, as I
viewed way up yonder in that sweet eternity. I thought
I entered that city and I stopped at the gate, so
anxious to enter, I could hardly wait. As I neared that
city, Jesus stood at the door, said,"My child, enter in,
you are safe forever more."Want to walk all around to see
who I could see, for I had so many loved ones who came
ahead of me.
2
Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see? Why,
that's the little old lady who many times befriended
me, helped me in my sickness and in trouble a helping
hand, why, that's her there singing, in the blessed angel
band. Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see?
Why that's Dad and Momma, who were just ahead of me. I
wonder will they know me, they have been gone so long,
with a smile they remembered, said,"My child, you'er
welcome home."

Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see? Why,
that's the old beggar who sat upon the street. But he
looks so different sitting there around God's throne,
I can still hear him singing while the ages roll on
4
Oh yes, over yonder, is a face I remember still, it's
the old fashioned preacher from the church upon the
hill. With his bible I still see him standing there
so many times, telling us about this heaven that someday
I could call mine.

But I must keep on walking, so many face more, so many
more faces that I am searching for. But I won't have to hurry.
I'll take all the time I need, for I'm here forever, through
all eternity.
