That Window in the Skies

lyricist: C. H. Gootee, 1906
Composer: Mrs. W. E. Lyon

I have heard some peo­ple say

Who are in the na­rrow way

That they are trust­ing Je­sus now for all;

They have land and hous­es

too

But God’s tithes are ov­er­due

And the bless­ings they re­ceive are ve­ry small.

There’s a win­dow in the skies

That will bright­en up your eyes;

There’s a win­dow God will open

When you bring in all your tithes;

There’s a win­dow in the skies

That will fill you with sur­prise;

That win­dow God will open

When you bring in all your tithes.

They have loss­es but no gain

And their heart is full of pain

When bu­si­ness will not go just as it should;

O so li­ttle they can give

For it takes it all to live

They would like to do such great things if they could.

There’s the hea­then need the Word

The glad news they’ve nev­er heard

These stin­gy people keep from God His tithes;

And their heart is cold and lone

There’s no mu­sic in their tone

And they oft­en wipe the tear­drops from their eyes.
