What a happy time some glad tomorrow When we lay these heavy burdens down In this lonsome valley . . . no more to roam Having laboured on thru joy and sorrow Hoping to receive that golden crown It will all be glory . . . in that sweet home (That happy home) In that beautiful city of the sweet forever Where the river of life goes ebbing by We'll look upon the beauty that fades no never And happy we'll be while the ages fly. Many precious loved ones will be waiting Just across the river deep and wide In this lonsome valley . . . no more to roam Thru eternity no separating Every heart will then be satisfied It will all be glory (joy) in that sweet home (that happy home). In that beautiful city of the sweet forever Where the river of life goes ebbing by We'll look upon the beauty that fades no never And happy we'll be while the ages fly. In that beautiful city of the sweet forever Where the river of life goes ebbing by We'll look upon the beauty that fades no never And happy we'll be, (and happy we'll be) And happy we'll be, (and happy we'll be) And happy we'll be, while the ages fly.
