There are those who are taking vacations
To the m ountains the lakes and the s ea
Where they rest from their cares and their troubles
What a w onderful time that must b e
But it s eems not my l ot to be like t hem
I must t oil through the heat and the c old
Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain
Bringing w anderers b ack to the f old
But when I take my vacation in heaven
What a w onderful time that will b e
Hearing concerts by the heavenly Chorus
And the f ace of my Savior I'll s ee
Sitting d own on the b anks of the r iver
Neath the s hade of the evergreen t ree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever
Won't you t ake your v acation with m e
Sitting d own on the b anks of the r iver
Neath the s hade of the evergreen t ree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever
Won't you t ake your v acation with m e
