16228. There Are Treasures For Children In Heaven

1 There are tre­asures for child­ren in Hea­ven above,
For the child­ren who trust in their Lord;
They shall dwell in the light of His fa­vor and love,
They shall praise Him with joy­ous accord.

Refrain:
There are trea­sures in Heav’n, there are trea­sures in Heav’n,
There are tre­asures for child­ren in Hea­v’n;
In the man­sions so bright, where the Lord is the light,
Shall the trea­sures to child­ren be giv’n.

2 They shall drink of the ri­ver that flows from the throne,
They shall feast with the ran­somed and blest;
They shall tell of His glo­ry who calls them His own
In that beau­ti­ful coun­try of rest. [Refrain]

3 They shall join in the an­thems of glo­ry and praise,
They shall sing with the an­gels so fair;
And no sor­row or sigh­ing shall hush their sweet lays,
When they meet their Re­deem­er up there. [Refrain]
