Above the Bright Blue

There’s a beau­ti­ful place called Heav­en

It is hid­den ab­ove the bright blue;

Where the good

who from earth ties are ri­ven

Live and love an eter­ni­ty thro’.

Above the bright blue

the beau­ti­ful blue

Jesus is wait­ing for me and for you;

Heaven is there

not far from our sight

Beautiful ci­ty of light.

This land of sweet rest awaits us;

Some day it will break on our view;

’Tis pro­mised by Christ the Re­deem­er

To His fol­low­ers faith­ful and true.

When He left His be­loved dis­ci­ples

He said

as He bade them adieu

I go to pre­pare you a man­sion

And soon I’ll be send­ing for you.

We know not when He shall call us

Whether soon

the glad sum­mons shall be;

But we know

when we pass o’er the riv­er

The glo­ry of Je­sus we’ll see.
