Home of the Blest (Handy)

In Heav­en

bright Heav­en

the home of the blest

Where sor­row’s un­known

I am long­ing to rest;

To gain its fair por­tals my ef­forts shall be

For loved ones are wait­ing in Heav­en for me

To gain its fair por­tals my ef­forts shall be

For loved ones are wait­ing in Heav­en for me.

To Heav­en

sweet Heav­en

I’m hop­ing to go

When I have ac­comp­lished my mis­sion be­low;

The Bi­ble for­ev­er my stand­ard shall be

For loved ones are wait­ing in Heav­en for me.

The Bi­ble for­ev­er my stand­ard shall be

For loved ones are wait­ing in Heav­en for me.

For Heav­en I’m striv­ing

and ne’er will give o’er

Till safe­ly I stand on the glit­ter­ing shore;

Beyond the dark wa­ters of life’s stor­my sea

With loved ones now wait­ing in Heav­en for me

Beyond the dark wa­ters of life’s stor­my sea

With loved ones now wait­ing in Heav­en for me.
