When I step off the ramp of the old ship of Zion
And I sink my toes in the sands of time
On Jordan's bright shore, I'll see friends and loved ones
Who have made the same journey to Heaven's fair clime
As the saints are arriving to behold the great splendor
They are met with a strange and most welcoming breeze
With the fair, lovely fragrance of the fruits of our labor
And eternal blossoms of the flowers and trees.
I will sing Hallelujah, Heaven's all that I longed for
He is Who He said, and I am one of His own! (one of His own)
I'll see (all the splendor), I'll smell (the sweet roses)
I'll hear (angels singing), I'll taste (milk and honey)
And when I see the Savior, I'll kneel at His throne
That's when I'll know I'm Home.
When I hear the singing of the Heavenly choir
I shall most gladly join in eternal refrain
Singing Glory to God, He spared not His Son
Worthy, most worthy... the Lamb who was slain!
I will sing Hallelujah, Heaven's all that I longed for
He is Who He said, and I am one of His own! (one of His own)
I'll see (all the splendor), I'll smell (the sweet roses)
I'll hear (angels singing), I'll taste (milk and honey)
And when I see the Savior, I'll kneel at His throne
That's when I'll know I'm Home.
