First Day In Heaven

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'

Your first day in Heaven

When you stroll down the golden avenue

There are mansions left and right

And the thrill on every sight

And the saints are always smilin' sayin', "How do you do?"

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'

Your first day in Heaven

When you realize your worryin' days are through

You'll be glad you were not idle

Took time to read your Bible

It's a great mornin' for you

I had a dream, and I'll confess I hated to awake

He dreamt he was an angel at the great pearly gate

St. Peter said, "Well, hello there, where have you been?

I've got your mansion ready so, come right in"

And then he rang for an angel to act as a guide

He spread his wings a time or two and learned how to fly

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'

Your first day in Heaven

When you stroll down the golden avenue

There are mansions left and right

And the thrill on every sight

And the saints are always smilin' sayin', "How do you do?"

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'

Your first day in Heaven

When you realize your worryin' days are through

You'll be glad you were not idle

Took time to read your Bible

Oh, it's a great mornin', great mornin'

What a happy day!

Happy day!
