How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

Sung by Skeeter Davis, written by Mrs. A.S. Bridgewater and A. P. Bland

We read of a place that's called heaven
It's made for the pure and the free
These truths in God's word he hath given
How beautiful heaven must be.

How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free
Fair heaven of rest for the weary
How beautiful heaven must be.

--- Instrumental ---

In heaven no drooping or pining
No wishing for elsewhere to be
God's light is forever there shining
How beautiful heaven must be.

How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free
Fair haven of rest for the weary
How beautiful heaven must be...

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be Written by Mrs. A. S. Bridgewater / Andy P. Bland, sung by The Stanley Brothers, Carter and Ralph  

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be
   We read of a place that’s called heaven,
    It’s made for the pure and the free;
    These truths in God’s Word He hath given,
    How beautiful heaven must be.
  
     How beautiful heaven must be,
     Sweet home of the happy and free;
     Fair haven of rest for the weary,
     How beautiful heaven must be.

    Pure waters of life there are flowing,
    And all who will drink may be free;
    Rare jewels of splendor are glowing,
    How beautiful heaven must be.

     How beautiful heaven must be,
     Sweet home of the happy and free;
     Fair haven of rest for the weary,
     How beautiful heaven must be.

    The angels so sweetly are singing,
    Up there by the beautiful sea;
    Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing,
    How beautiful heaven must be.

     How beautiful heaven must be,
     Sweet home of the happy and free;
     Fair haven of rest for the weary,
     How beautiful heaven must be.
