[Verse]
There are those who are taking vacations
To the mountains the lakes and the sea
Where they rest from their cares and their troubles
What a wonderful time that must be
But it seems not my lot to be like them
I must toil through the heat and the cold
Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain
Bringing wanderers back to the fold
But when I take my vacation in Heaven
What a wonderful time that will be
Hearing concerts by the Heavenly chorus
And the face of my Saviour I'll see

[Chorus][x2]
Sitting down on the banks of the river
Beneath the shade of the evergreen tree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever
Won't you take your vacation with me
