0:21I'm thinking of friends
0:24Whom I used to know
0:27Who lived and suffered
0:30In this world below
0:32But they've gone off to heaven
0:35But I want to know
0:38What are they doing there now
0:43Oh what are they doing
0:45In heaven today
0:48Sin and sorrow are
0:51All done away
0:54Peace abounds like a river they say
0:59What are they doing there now
1:04There's some whose hearts
1:07Were burdened with care
1:10They paid for their moment
1:13With fighting and tears
1:15They clung to the
1:17Cross trembling in fear
1:21But what are they
1:22Doing there now
1:26What are they doing
1:28In heaven today
1:31Sin and sorrow
1:34Are all done away
1:37Peace abounds like a river they say
1:42What are they doing there now
1:47There's some whose
1:49Bodies were full of disease
1:53Physicians and doctors couldn't
1:56Give them much ease
1:58They suffered 'til death
2:01Brought a final release
2:04What are they doing there now
2:09What are they doing in heaven today
2:14Sin and sorrow are all done away
2:20Peace abounds like a river they say
2:25What are they doing there now
2:30There's some who were poor
2:34And often despised
2:36They looked up to heaven
2:39With tear-blinded eyes
2:41While people were heedless
2:44And deaf to their cries
2:47What are they doing there now
2:52What are they doing in heaven today
2:57Sin and sorrow are all done away
3:03Peace abounds like a river they say
3:08What are they doing there now
3:35What are they doing in heaven today
3:40Sin and sorrow are all done away
3:46Peace abounds like a river they say
3:51What are they doing there now
I'm thinking of friends Whom I used to know Who lived and suffered In this world below But they've gone off to heaven But I want to know What are they doing there now Oh what are they doing In heaven today Sin and sorrow are All done away Peace abounds like a river they say What are they doing there now There's some whose hearts Were burdened with care They paid for their moment With fighting and tears They clung to the Cross trembling in fear But what are they Doing there now What are they doing In heaven today Sin and sorrow Are all done away Peace abounds like a river they say What are they doing there now There's some whose Bodies were full of disease Physicians and doctors couldn't Give them much ease They suffered 'til death Brought a final release What are they doing there now What are they doing in heaven today Sin and sorrow are all done away Peace abounds like a river they say What are they doing there now There's some who were poor And often despised They looked up to heaven With tear-blinded eyes While people were heedless And deaf to their cries What are they doing there now What are they doing in heaven today Sin and sorrow are all done away Peace abounds like a river they say What are they doing there now What are they doing in heaven today Sin and sorrow are all done away Peace abounds like a river they say What are they doing there now
