What Are They Doing in Heaven Today

What Are They Doing In Heaven Today
(trad.)

I'm thinking today of friends that I used to know
Who lived and suffered in this world below
They're gone off to heaven, but I want to know
What are they doing there now?
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away
Peace abounds like a river they say
Oh, what are they doing there now?
There's some whose hearts were burdened with care
They spent for their moment with fighting and tears
But they clung to the cross in trembling and fear
Oh, what are they doing there now?
(chorus)
There's some who were poor and often despised
They looked up toward heaven with tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
Oh, what are they doing there now?
(chorus)
