First Day In Heaven

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'
Your first day in Heaven
When you stroll down the golden avenue
There are mansions left and right
And a thrill with every sight
And the saints are always smilin'
Sayin', "How do you do?"
Oh, it's a great, great mornin'
Your first day in Heaven
When you realize
Your worried days are through
You'll be glad you were not idle
Took time to read your Bible
It's a great mornin' for you

I had a dream and I confess
I hated to awake
He dreamt he was an angel
At thе great pearly gate
St. Pеter said, "Well, hello there
Where have you been?
I've got your mansion ready
So, come right in"
And then he rang for an angel
To act as a guide
He spread his wings a time or two
And learned how to fly

Oh, it's a great, great mornin'
Your first day in Heaven
When you stroll down the golden avenue
There are mansions left and right
And a thrill with every sight
And the saints are always smilin'
Sayin', "How do you do?"
Oh, it's a great, great mornin'
Your first day in Heaven
When you realize
Your worried days are through
You'll be glad you were not idle
Took time to read your Bible
Oh, it's a great mornin', great mornin'
What a happy day, happy day
