C
There are those who are taking vacations
       F                           C
To the mountains the lakes and the sea
Where they rest from their cares and their troubles
       D7                       G7
What a wonderful time that must be
       C            G7             C
But it seems not my lot to be like them 
       F                             C
I must toil through the heat and the cold
Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain 
         D7        G7          C
Bringing wanderers back to the fold
But when I take my vacation in heaven 
       F                        C
What a wonderful time that will be
Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus 
        D7                     G7
And the face of my Savior I'll see
        C           G7           C
Sitting down on the banks of the river
          F                      C
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever 
          D7        G7            C
Won't you take your vacation with me
        C           G7           C
Sitting down on the banks of the river
          F                      C
Neath the shade of the evergreen tree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever 
          D7        G7            C
Won't you take your vacation with me
