When to the Lord I did pray, He took my burdens away,
That's why I'm singing today, I'm happy in Him,
Though skies above me are grey, His Word I'll ever obey,
At His dear side I will stay, 'till Heaven I win.
(Lead Part)
I'll be happy, no matter where it may be, if Jesus is there,
Over yonder, it will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Bass Part)
I'll be O so happy, just beyond the river,
No matter where it may be, if Jesus is there,
In that bright tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Tenor & Baritone Part)
Be happy, forever, just over, the river,
No matter where it may be, if Jesus, my Lord, is there,
In Heaven, tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus, my Lord, is there.
There is a city above, where we shall live in His love,
There with the Heavenly Dove, and angels so fair,
In that sweet home of the soul, we'll live while ages shall roll,
When Heaven's Gate shall unfold, my Lord will be there.
(Lead Part)
I'll be happy, no matter where it may be, if Jesus is there,
Over yonder, it will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Bass Part)
I'll be O so happy, just beyond the river,
No matter where it may be, if Jesus is there,
In that bright tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Tenor & Baritone Part)
Be happy, forever, just over, the river,
No matter where it may be, if Jesus, my Lord, is there,
In Heaven, tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus, my Lord, is there.
(Lead Part)
Over yonder, it will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Bass Part)
In that bright tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus is there.
(Tenor & Baritone Part)
In Heaven, tomorrow, there'll be no more sorrow,
It will be Heaven for me, if Jesus, my Lord, is there.
