Song of Heaven

When

on earth’s dark and stor­my shore

Wild bil­lows beat

and tem­pests roar

’Tis sweet to lift our thoughts above

To realms of peace

of light and love

Away in Heav’n

away in Heav’n.

When tri­als come

and plea­sures go

When hearts are crushed

and hot tears flow

How pre­cious then the hour of pray­er

The rest of faith

that all may share

And hope of Heav’n

and hope of Heav’n.

When hea­vy bur­dens press the soul

And all the surg­es o’er us roll

Amid our sor­row light ap­pears;

Faith bids the mourn­er dry his tears

And look to Heav’n

and look to Heav’n.

At last

when heart and flesh shall fail

And we must pass the sha­dowy vale

Oh

then

blest Sav­ior

be our stay

And bring us to eter­nal day

The day of Heav’n

the day of Heav’n.
