Get Ready for Heaven

If you’re go­ing up to Heav­en

You had better now be rea­dy

For the day will soon be ov­er

When your pil­grim­age will cease;

Soon the saved will meet to­ge­ther

In that home be­yond the riv­er

Where the tree of life is bloom­ing

In that land of end­less peace.

For the day will soon be end­ing

And the Judge will be des­cend­ing;

Will you be among the weep­ing

And the wail­ing of the lost?

Or will you fly to Heav­en

On the wings that He hath giv­en

And up there to live for­ev­er

In that land of end­less peace?

O that home is pure and ho­ly

Nothing sin­ful e’er shall en­ter

And the path that leads to glo­ry

Enters thro’ the gates of pearl;

Many friends have gone be­fore us

Who are join­ing in the chor­us

Glory

glo­ry be to Je­sus

He has ov­er­come the world.

I can hear the pil­grims cheer­ing

As the har­bor they are near­ing

From the dear old ship of Zi­on

As she nears the gold­en shore;

Hark! I hear a voice of wel­come

Come

ye bless­èd of My Fa­ther;

Enter in­to life eter­nal

Which is yours for­ev­er­more.
