YES, HEAVEN IS THE PRIZE

1. Yes, heaven is the prize;
   My soul shall strive to gain.
   One glimpse of Paradise,
   Repays a life of pain.

Chorus:
      ‘Tis heaven ’tis heaven;
      Yes, heaven is the prize.
      ‘Tis heaven ’tis heaven;
      Yes, heaven is the prize.

2. Yes, heaven is the prize;
   My soul, O think of this;
   All earthly goods despise,
   For such a crown of bliss.
3. Yes, heaven is the prize;
   When sorrows press around,
   Look up beyond the skies,
   Where hope and strength are found.
4. Yes, heaven is the prize;
   O, ’tis not hard to gain;
   He surely wins who tries,
   For hope can conquer pain.
5. Yes, heaven is the prize;
   The strife will soon be past,
   Faint not; but raise your eyes,
   And struggle till the last.
