Refrain: Look away to heaven—what glory awaits! Watch, lest this world drag you down; Dropping all distractions, then press for those gates— There is your mansion and crown! Never will you find what you need here to live: This world cannot satisfy; Jesus has the joy that this world cannot give, And greater joys are on high. Just a moment more and the trumpet shall sound— Jesus is waiting for me; Heaven has my heart-strings, for heaven I’m bound, With Him in heaven I’ll be!

Look away, dear pilgrim, to heaven above:
Jesus is waiting for you;
Set aside earth’s striving, and seek treasure of
That realm beyond earthly view.
- Refrain:
  Look away to heaven—what glory awaits!
  Watch, lest this world drag you down;
  Dropping all distractions, then press for those gates—
  There is your mansion and crown!
Never will you find what you need here to live:
This world cannot satisfy;
Jesus has the joy that this world cannot give,
And greater joys are on high.
Just a moment more and the trumpet shall sound—
Jesus is waiting for me;
Heaven has my heart-strings, for heaven I’m bound,
With Him in heaven I’ll be!
