Won′t you take your vacation with me?

Well, so many are taking vacations

To the mountains, the lakes and the sea

Where they'll rest, from their cares and their worries

What a wonderful, wonderful time that must be

But it seems, not my choice to, be like them

I must toil, through the heat and cold

Seeking out, the lost sheep, on the mountains

Bringing the wanderers, back to the fold

When I take my vacation in heaven (in heaven)

What a wonderful, wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly choir

And the face of my Saviour I′ll see

Sitting down, on the banks of that river praise God

'Neath the shade of that evergreen tree

I shall rest from my burdens forever

Won't you take your vacation with me?

Sitting down, on the banks of the river

′Neath the shade of the evergreen tree

When I take my vacation in heaven

What a wonderful time that will be

When I take my vacation in heaven (in heaven)

What a wonderful, wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly choir oh, yes

And the face of my Saviour I′ll see oh, yeah

Sitting down, on the banks of that river hallelujah

'Neath the shade of that evergreen, evergreen tree

I shall rest from my burdens forever

Won′t you take your vacation with me?

I shall rest from my burdens forever (yes I will)

Won't you take your vacation with me?

Oh, yes
