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.
