Above The Bright Blue

There’s a beautiful place called heaven
It is hidden above the bright blue
Where the good, who from Earth ties are riven
Live and love an eternity thro'

Above the bright blue, the beautiful blue
Jesus is waiting for me and for you
Heaven is there, not far from our sight
Beautiful city of light

This land of sweet rest awaits us
Some day it will break on our view
'Tis promised by Christ the redeemer
To his followers faithful and true

Above the bright blue, the beautiful blue
Jesus is waiting for me and for you
Heaven is there, not far from our sight
Beautiful city of light

We know not when he shall call us
Whether soon, the glad summons shall be
But we know, when we pass o’er the river
The glory of Jesus we’ll see
