GHS 137 : How Beautiful Heaven Must Be Lyrics
GHS 137, “How Beautiful Heaven Must Be,” is a hymn of hopeful longing for the eternal home God has prepared for His people. The hymn takes its cue from what the Scriptures reveal about heaven: a place of light that never dims, of God’s presence that never withdraws, of rest for the weary, freedom for the captive, and unending joy for those who are pure and free in Christ. Against the weariness and shadows of the present life, the hymn holds up this vision and lets the beauty of it draw the heart forward.
The refrain repeats its central wonder quietly and consistently, making it the kind of hymn that settles into the memory and returns in difficult moments as a reminder of what lies ahead. This hymn appears as number 137 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 137: How Beautiful Heaven Must Be
- We read of a beautiful heaven, Prepared for the pure and the free; These truths in God’s word He has 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.
-
In heaven, no drooping nor pining, No wishing for elsewhere to be; God’s light is forever there shining, How beautiful heaven must be.
-
I’m longing to go to fair heaven, To be with the happy and free; To spend the long ages in singing, 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.
