Above the Bright Blue Sky
By Albert Midlane
Theres a friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A friend who never changes
Whose love will never die;
Our earthy friends may fail us
And change with changing years,
This friend is always worthy
Of that dear name he bears
Theres a home for the little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where He reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
And everyone is happy,
Nor could be happier there.
