WHERE IS HEAVEN?
O where is heaven? cried a child.Is it above, beyond the sky?Is it above, beyond the clouds?How shall I find it when I die?O where is heaven? cried a youth.It seems so far, so far away.This world is such a weary wasteFor Heaven’s peace I ever pray.I long to know where heaven is,Is it the place where angels dwell?Is it the place where spirits go?Can mortal man the place foretell.I’ve searched in vain the place to find—I’ve sought, I’ve searched for heaven’s door,I cannot find one trace of itIn modern book, nor ancient lore.We’re told that heaven is but for thoseWho live a life all free from sin.If this is true, there is no hope—No one will ever heaven win.O where is heaven? an old man cried.Is it above the world’s fierce din?“A still small voice” then spake to himTo find your heaven, O look within.
