Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Yes, heaven is the prize;
My soul shall strive to gain;
One glimpse of Paradise,
Repays a life of pain.
CHORUS
Tis Heaven; yes Heaven;
Yes Heaven is the prize;
Tis Heaven; tis Heaven;
Yes Heaven is the prize.
VERSE 2
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
My soul, Oh think of this;
All earthly goods despise,
For such a crown of bliss.
VERSE 3
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
When sorrows press around,
Look up beyond the skies,
Where hope and strength are found.
VERSE 4
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Oh, it's not hard to gain;
He surely wins who tries,
For hope can conquer pain.
VERSE 5
Yes, heaven is the prize;
The strive will soon be past,
Faint not, but raise your eyes,
And struggle to the last.
VERSE 6
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Faith shows the crown to gain,
Hope lights the way and dies
But love will always reign.
VERSE 7
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Too much can not be given;
And he alone is wise,
Who gives up all for Heaven.
VERSE 8
Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Death opens wide the door,
And then the spirit flies,
To God for evermore.
