There are those who are taking vacations
 
       F                           C
To the mountains the lakes and the sea


Where they rest from their cares and their troubles

       D7                       G7
What a wonderful time that must be


       C            G7             C
But it seems not my lot to be like them 

       F                             C
I must toil through the heat and the cold


Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain 

         D7        G7          C
Bringing wanderers back to the fold



But when I take my vacation in heaven 

       F                        C
What a wonderful time that will be


Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus 

        D7                     G7
And the face of my Savior I'll see


        C           G7           C
Sitting down on the banks of the river
 
          F                      C
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree


There I'll rest from my burdens forever 

          D7        G7            C
Won't you take your vacation with me


        C           G7           C
Sitting down on the banks of the river
 
          F                      C
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree


There I'll rest from my burdens forever 

          D7        G7            C
Won't you take your vacation with me
