On the day I get to heaven

On the day I get to Heaven,

In that Paradise so fair,

As I tread its paths and meadows

I shall see three wonders there.

On the da I get to Heaven,

The wonder first will be,

To find so many people

I did not expect to see.

On the day I get to Heaven,

The second I declare,

Will be to miss so many

Whom I quite expected there.

On the day I get to Heaven,

As an erring sprite or elf,

The greatest wonder, sure, will be

To find I'm there myself.
