Heaven Holds All to Me

 

1

Earth holds no treasures but perish with using,

However precious they be;

Yet there's a country to which I am going,

Heaven holds all to me.

2

Out on the hill of that wonderful country,

Happy, contented and free,

Loved ones are waiting and watching my coming,

Heaven holds all to me.

3

Why should I long for the world with its sorrows,

When in that home o'er the sea,

Millions are singing the wonderful story,

Heaven holds all to me.

CHORUS

Heaven holds all to me,

Brighter its glory will be;

Joy without measure will be my treasure,

Heaven holds all to me.

Tillit S. Teddle

Here's a congregational recording of this song, so you can hear what it usually sounds like in church.

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. 

~Matthew 6:20

Matthew 6:19-21

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Revelation 7:9-17

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
