Something to Do in Heaven

There’ll be some­thing in Heav­en

For child­ren to do

None are idle in that bless­èd land.

There’ll be loves for the heart

There’ll be thoughts for the mind

And em­ploy­ment for each lit­tle hand.

There’ll be some­thing to do;

There’ll be some­thing to do;

There’ll be some­thing for child­ren to do;

On the bright shin­ing shore

Where there’s joy ev­er­more

There’ll be some­thing for child­ren to do.

There’ll be les­sons to learn

Of the wis­dom of God

As they wan­der the green mea­dows o’er;

And they’ll have for their teach­ers

In that blest ab­ode

All the good that have gone there be­fore.

There’ll be er­rands of love

From the mea­dows ab­ove

To the dear ones that lin­ger be­low;

And it may be our Fa­ther

The child­ren will send

To be an­gels of mer­cy in woe.
