Down here I walk in sin and sorrow
A heavy load of care is mine
But when I leave this world of sorrow
I'll leave it all behind
For every tear and every heartache
For every mile that I must roam
I'm that much nearer to Heaven's glory
And my eternal Home
Oh Heaven's gates are standing open
I see them standing open wide
I know there's joy and glory waiting
Oh how I long to get inside
I'll never shed a tear in Heaven
I'll never grieve, I'll never pine
For when I leave this world of sorrow
I'll leave it all behind
Oh Heaven's gates are standing open
I see them standing open wide
I know there's joy and glory waiting
Oh how I long to get inside
I'll never shed a tear in Heaven
I'll never grieve, I'll never pine
For when I leave this land of sorrow
I'll leave it all behind
I'll leave it all behind
I'll leave it all behind
