When I Take My Vacation In Heaven

	  		C 
There are those who are taking vacations 
  
       F                           C 
To the mountains the lakes and the sea 


Where they rest from their cares and their troubles 

       D7                       G7 
What a wonderful time that must be 


       C            G7             C 
But it seems not my lot to be like them  

       F                             C 
I must toil through the heat and the cold 


Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain  

         D7        G7          C 
Bringing wanderers back to the fold 



But when I take my vacation in heaven  

       F                        C 
What a wonderful time that will be 


Hearing concerts by the heavenly Chorus  

        D7                     G7 
And the face of my Savior I'll see 


        C           G7           C 
Sitting down on the banks of the river 
  
          F                      C 
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree 


There I'll rest from my burdens forever  

          D7        G7            C 
Won't you take your vacation with me 


        C           G7           C 
Sitting down on the banks of the river 
  
          F                      C 
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree 


There I'll rest from my burdens forever  

          D7        G7            C 
Won't you take your vacation with me
