NO SCHOOL BUS IN HEAVEN sung by The Stanley Brothers

In Memory of the 61st year of the wreck of School Bus 27, Feb. 28, 1958, in Floyd County, KY. May God Bless all the families touched by this tragedy.

On Route 23, down in Eastern Kentucky
A school bus wrecked there in the County of Floyd
It left many parents a weepin and mournin
It took away the lives of their little girls and boys

These little school children have gone on to Glory
No lessons to study, no worries or cares
They're now rejoicing and walking with Jesus
They won't have to ride on a school bus up there

God please watch over these heartbroken families
Give them the courage to go on alone
Show them the right way that leads up to Heaven
Where once more the family will all be at Home

These little school children have gone on to Glory
No lessons to study, no worries or cares
They're now rejoicing and walking with Jesus
They won't have to ride on a school bus up there......

That Home Far Away, sung by the Stanley Brothers

Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that Home far away

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow
Driftin' like a ship lost at sea
No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps
Till Jesus answered my plea

Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that Home far away

The lights are bright no longer I'm blinded
From the bondage of sin I'm free
He lifted me up to join Salvation
I'll live on eternally

Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that Home far away

Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that Home far away..............

Amazing Grace sung by the Stanley Brothers

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've just as long to sing God's praise
As when we first begun.........

                              Angel Band sung by The Stanley Brothers

          

My latest sun is sinking fast

My race has nearly run

My strongest trials now are past

My triumph is begun

O come, angel band, come and around me stand

O bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home

O bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home

O bear my longing heart to Him

Who bled and died for me

Whose blood now cleanses from all sin

And gives me victory

O come, angel band, come and around me stand

O bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home

O bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home

Lonely Tombs Written by J.E. Mainer, sung by the Stanley Brothers, Carter and Ralph      Lonely Tombs
I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tomb seemed to say
I once lived as you lived walked and talked as you talk
But from earth I was soon called away

Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest)
In our beautiful Heavenly home   Then I came to the place where my mother was laid
And in silence I stood by her tomb
And her voice seemed to say in a low gentle tone
I am safe with my Savior at home   Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest)
In our beautiful Heavenly home

Every voice from the tomb seemed to whisper and say
Living man you must soon follow me
And I thought as I looked on those cold marble slabs
What a dark lonesome place that must be
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest)
In our beautiful Heavenly home

A Vision Of Mother Written by Ruby Rakes, sung by, Carter and Ralph Stanley, the Stanley Bothers


A Vision Of Mother
Oft' my thoughts drift back to childhood
To the time when I was free
As I played before the fireside
'Round my darlin' Mother's knee

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
 I saw Mother in a vision
 Kneeling there to pray for me

Then one day our Mother left us
Daddy said she'd gone to rest
I remember how she loved me
As she clutched me to her breast

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
 I saw Mother in a vision
 Kneeling there to pray for me

Some sweet day I'll meet you Mother
Your little boy is comin' home
To see you as in days of childhood
The one you loved and left alone

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
 I saw Mother in a vision
 Kneeling there to pray for me   Dedicated to Bob and Barbara S. Moore

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.

Rank Strangers Written by Albert E. Brumley , sung by the Stanley Brothers, Carter and Ralph   
  Rank Strangers    I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youths early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me

   Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
   No Mother or Dad not a friend I could see
   They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
   I found they were all rank strangers to me

They've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I'll meet em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
   Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
   No Mother or Dad not a friend I could see
   They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
   I found they were all rank strangers to me
