Hymn 943
They have reach’d you golden shore
Meter: 7.6.7.7.6.
Scripture: Josh. 3:17
They have reach’d you golden shore
Up in heav'n; up in heav’n,
They shall hunger there no more,
They are ever free from pain:
Up in heav’n; up in heav’n.
There they need no light of lamp,
Up in heav'n up in heav’n;
There they have perpetual light,
Jesus is their shinning light
Up in heav’n up in heav’n.
Ah, the street are made of gold,
Up heav’n up in heav’n;
There the glory never fades,
For the flock of Christ they are,
Up in heav'n; up in heav’n.
It is never chilly there,
Up heav'n; up in heav’n;
For the their winter is all past,
Every day is ever bright,
Up in heav'n; up in heav’n.
They have fell ceased from their fight,
Up in heav’n; up in heav’n;
Jesus Christ has saved them,
They with Him walk hand in hand,
Up in heav'n; up in heav’n,
They shall no more cry nor weep,
Up in heav'n; up in heav'n;
Jesus is always with them,
With Him is abundant joy,
Up in heav'n; up in heav’n,
Ah we shall soon join the throng
Up in heav’n, up in heav'n;
We expect our time to come
When our Lord shall call us home,
Up in heav’n; up in heav'n,
