There’ll be something in Hea­ven
For children to do,
None are idle in that blessèd land.
There’ll be loves for the heart,
There’ll be thoughts for the mind,
And employment for each little hand.

Refrain

There’ll be some­thing to do;
There’ll be something to do;
There’ll be something for child­ren to do;
On the bright shining shore,
Where there’s joy ev­er­more,
There’ll be something for child­ren to do.

There’ll be lessons to learn
Of the wisdom of God,
As they wander the green mea­dows o’er;
And they’ll have for their teach­ers
In that blest abode,
All the good that have gone there be­fore.

Refrain

There’ll be errands of love
From the meadows above,
To the dear ones that lin­ger be­low;
And it may be our Fa­ther
The children will send
To be angels of mer­cy in woe.
