Sing the wondrous love of JesusSing his mercy and his graceIn the mansions bright and blessedHe’ll prepare for us a placeWhen we all get to heavenWhat a day of rejoicing that will beWhen we all see JesusWe’ll sing and shout the victoryOnward to the prize before usSoon his beauty we’ll beholdSoon the pearly gates will openWe shall tread the streets of goldWhen we all get to heavenWhat a day of rejoicing that will beWhen we all see JesusWe’ll sing and shout the victoryWhen we all see JesusWe’ll sing and shout the victory
