YES, HEAVEN IS THE PRIZE

Yes, heaven is the prize\nMy soul shall strive to gain;\nOne glimpse of paradise\nRepays a life of pain.\n‘Tis heaven; yes, heaven; yes,\nHeaven is the prize;\n‘Tis heaven; ‘tis heaven; yes,\nHeaven is the prize.\n2. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nMy soul, oh think of this;\nAll earthly goods despise\nFor such a crown of bliss.\n3. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nWhen sorrows press around,\nLook up beyond the skies,\nWhere hope and strength are found.\n4. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nOh, ‘tis not hard to gain;\nHe surely wins who tries,\nFor hope can conquer pain.\n5. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nThe strife will soon be past:\nFaint not, but raise your eyes\nAnd struggle to the last.\n6. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nFaith shows the crown to gain\nHope lights the way and dies;\nBut love will always reign.\n7. Yes, heaven is the prize!\nToo much cannot be given;\nAnd he alone is wise\nWho gives up all for heaven.\n8. Yes, heaven is the prize!\n1 06\nDeath opens wide the door,\nAnd then the spirit flies\nTo God for evermore.
