Yes heaven is the prize,
My soul shall strive to gain
One glimpse of Paradise,
Repays a life of pain.
Chorus: 't Is Heaven; yes heaven;
Yes Heaven is the prize;
't Is Heaven; 't is heaven;
Yes Heaven is the prize.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
My soul, Oh think of this;
All earthly goods despise,
For such a crown of bliss.
't Is Heaven, etc.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
When sorrows press around,
Look up beyond the skies,
Where hope and strength are found.

Oh, it's not hard to gain;
He surely wins who tries,
For hope can conquer pain.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
The strife will soon be past,
Faint not, but raise your eyes,
And struggle to the last.
't Is Heaven, etc.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Faith shows the crown to gain,
Hope lights the way and dies;
But love will always reign.
't Is Heaven, etc.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Too much cannot be given;
And he alone is wise,
Who gives up all for Heaven.
't Is Heaven, etc.

Yes, Heaven is the prize!
Death opens wide the door,
And then the spirit flies,
To God for evermore.
't Is Heaven, etc.
