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 heedless and deaf to their cries
 Oh, what are they doing there now?
 (chorus)
