Lyrics
Sing to me of Heaven, sing that song of peace
From the toils that bind me it will bring release
Burdens will be lifted that are pressing so
Showers of great blessing o'er my heart will flow
Sing to me of Heaven, let me fondly dream
Of it's golden glory, of its pearly gleam
Sing to me when shadows of the evening fall
Sing to me of heaven, sweetest song of all
Sing to me of Heaven, as I walk alone
Dreaming of the comrades that so long have gone
In a fairer region 'mong the angel throng
They are happy as they sing that old, sweet song
Sing to me of Heaven, let me fondly dream
Of its golden glory, of its pearly gleam
Sing to me when shadows of the evening fall
Sing to me of heaven, sweetest song of all
Sing to me of Heaven, tenderly and low
Till the shadows o'er me rise and swiftly go
When my heart is weary, when the day is long
Sing to me of Heaven, sing that old, sweet song
Sing to me of Heaven, let me fondly dream
Of its golden glory, of its pearly gleam
Sing to me when shadows of the evening fall
Sing to me of heaven, sweetest song of all

Meaning & Inspiration
Sing to Me of Heaven treats the hope of heaven as comfort for weariness, grief, and the burdens of earthly life. Each verse asks for a song that can lift the heart beyond present toil toward peace, glory, and fellowship with those who have died. The recurring chorus pictures heaven with golden brightness and pearl-like beauty, drawing on familiar biblical imagery while keeping the focus on consolation.
The song does not ignore sorrow. Evening shadows, loneliness, and a weary heart remain present, but they are set beside the expectation of a fairer dwelling and a joyful angelic gathering. Singing becomes a means of remembering Christian hope when the day feels long. The repeated request is therefore both reflective and expectant: thoughts of heaven offer release from pressing burdens and point toward enduring communion in Gods presence. Its gentle language suits a hymn of assurance, especially in times of loss or fatigue.
