568 I Want to Go to Heaven

Words:

Music: J. E. Kitchens, 1959

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

I want to go to heav’n, I do,
I want to see His face,
I want to hear Him sweetly say,
Come dwell with me at home.

Chorus:

I’m going home to be with Him,
To live through endless days,
And there with saints and angels join,
In hymns of joyful praise.

I want to work each day I live,
And do my Master’s will,
A life of faithful service give,
My mission to fulfill.

(Chorus)
