Hymns from the Heart

There are those who are taking vacations
to the mountains, the lakes, and the sea.
Where they rest from their cares and their troubles,
what a wonderful time that must be.


But it seems no my lot to be like them;
I must toil through the heat and the cold.
Seekin' out the lost sheep on a mountain,
bringing wanderers back to the fold.


But when I take my vacation in heaven,
what a wonderful time that will be.
Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus,
and the face of my Saviour I'll see.


Sitting down on the bank of the river,
'Neath the shade of the evergreen tree.
There I'll rest from my burdens forever;
won't you take your vacation with me?


Sitting down on the bank of the river,
Under the shade of the evergreen tree.
There I'll rest from my burdens forever;
won't you take your vacation with me?
