To us whose souls are saved;
For in the city of our Lord
The streets with gold are paved.
Refrain:
Lay up thy treasure in Heaven,
Of all things make this sure;
Lay up thy treasure in Heaven,
And God will keep it secure.
2 Boast thou not of thy jewels fair,
For we redeemed from sin
Through gates of pearl to beauties rare
Will soon be ushered in. [Refrain]
3 Boast thou not of thy mansions here,
For we with blood-washed souls
Have mansions in another sphere,
Where time unending rolls. [Refrain]
4 Boast thou not of thy great renown,
For each who bears Christ’s name
Will some day wear a fadeless crown
And have enduring fame. [Refrain]
5 Freely speak of the Savior’s power,
And of His matchless love,
Resolving thou wilt from this hour
Lay treasure up above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: TAMPERE
Lay Up Thy Treasure In Heaven
