Verse 1
There are thCose who are taking vacations
To the mounFtains the lakes and the sCea
Where they rCest from their cares and their troubles
What a wondDerful time that must Gbe
But it seCems not my lGot to be liCke them
I must toFil through the heat and the coCld
SeeCkin’ out the lost sheep on a mountain
Bringing wandeDrers baGck to the foCld
Chorus
But when CI take my vacation in Heaven
What a wondFerful time that will Cbe
Hearing concCerts by the Heavenly chorus
And the faDce of my Saviour I’ll sGee
Sitting doCwn on the baGnks of the riCver
‘Neath the shaFde of the evergreen trCee
There I’ll reCst from my burdens forever A
Won’t you taDke your vacaGtion with mCe
