  2. WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

  3. Eliza was the daughter of James S. Hewitt and Zeruiah Edmunds. After graduation from school, she began teaching, but her career was cut short by a serious spinal problem. She partially recovered, but was an invalid most of her life. She then turned to hymn writing, which ran in the family—her cousin was hymnist Edgar Stites. Eliza lived all her life in Philadelphia, where she was Sunday School superintendent at the Northern Home for Friendless Children, and later at the Calvin Presbyterian Church. She was also a regular contributor to Sunday-School Helps. Later Eliza's well-being improved, although she suffered re-occurrences for the rest of her life. Despite her health problems, she was deeply interested in Sunday school work, and superintended a Sunday school for the Northern Home for Friendless Children. This was followed by similar work in the Calvin Presbyterian Church. At one point, she had a class of 200! Eliza died in 1920. WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN Eliza E.

  4. Song Lyrics: • Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,Sing His mercy and His grace.In the mansions bright and blessèdHe’ll prepare for us a place. • Refrain • When we all get to Heaven,What a day of rejoicing that will be!When we all see Jesus,We’ll sing and shout the victory! • While we walk the pilgrim pathway,Clouds will overspread the sky;But when traveling days are over,Not a shadow, not a sigh. • Refrain • Let us then be true and faithful,Trusting, serving every day;Just one glimpse of Him in gloryWill the toils of life repay. • Refrain • Onward to the prize before us!Soon His beauty we’ll behold;Soon the pearly gates will open;We shall tread the streets of gold. • Refrain WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN The Word on Heaven: Matthew 5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full
