So Happy I'll Be

Then I'm be goin' home to heaven above
Then I'll shout and sing with the angels up there
Tell the Saviour of His love and care
That He had for me in this world below
So happy I'll be when my Saviour I shall see
And tell Him of His love that He had for me
No more sorrows grief or pain all the time will be the same
So happy, I'll be forever more
Some happy time just wait and see my blessed Saviour will come for me
Then I'm goin' home to heaven above
Where my loved ones have gone before to that bright and shining shore
So happy I'll be forever more
So happy I'll be
So happy I'll be when my Saviour I shall see
And tell Him of His love that He had for me
No more sorrows grief or pain all the time will be the same
So happy I'll be forever more
Oh, just think of the day my friends when the saints go marching in
Then I'm goin' home to heaven above
Oh, so happy I'll be my blessed Saviour I shall see
So happy I'll be forever more
So happy I'll be
So happy I'll be when my Saviour I shall see
And tell Him of His love that He had for me
No more sorrows grief or pain all the time will be the same
So happy I'll be forever more
So Happy I'll Be
