When We All Get to Heaven
Revelation 21:1–7 · with When We All Get to Heaven
When We All Get to Heaven — Eliza E. Hewitt, words, and Emily D. Wilson, music, 1898. Its root: the home it sings of — “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4).
Hewitt’s heaven hymn over the heaven chapter — the new heaven and new earth, the tabernacle of God with men, no more death nor crying. The same passage “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” closes on. Played, not sung.
— or tap any verse to hear it from there.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
