Until Then

My heart can sing

When I pause to remember,

A heartache here

Is but a stepping stone,

Along the trail

That's winding always upward,

This troubled world

Is not my final home.

But until then,

My heart will go on singing,

Until then,

With joy I'll carry on.

Until the day

Mine eyes behold the city

Until the day

God calls me home.

The things of earth

Will dim and lose their value,

If we recall,

They're borrowed for awhile

And things of earth

That cause the heart to tremble

Remember there,

Will only bring a smile.

This weary world

With all its toil and struggle,

May take its toll

Of misery and strife,

The soul of man

Is like a waiting eagle

When it's released

It's destined for the sky.
