Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace. In the mansions bright and blessèd He’ll prepare for us a place. Refrain When we all get to Heaven, While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Refrain Let us then be true and faithful, Refrain Onward to the prize before us! Refrain When We All Get to Heaven was written by Eliza Hewitt (1851-1920). She was a cousin of Edgar Page Stites, who also wrote great hymns. Hewitt lived in the eastern United States and was actively involved in church and Sunday school programs throughout her life. Hewitt participated in Methodist camp meetings in New Jersey along with the composer, Emily Wilson. The hymn first appeared in 1898. Today, 100 years later, the thought of being together with God in heaven is just as exciting as it was then. John 14:2 - In my Father’s house are many rooms…I am going there to prepare a place for you.
