When Every Hymn Is Sung

When ev'ry hymn is sung a thousand times,
By the assembled saints before the throne;
When the bells tire of ringing happy chimes,
And first reunions are forever gone;
When the redeemed of God have gazed their fill
Upon the shining One who died for them;
When each saint in turn has savored the thrill
Of a private chat 'neath the diadem;
What next? With countless eons of glory
Yet held in store for heaven's joyous host?
No anthems unsung, no untold story,
How best pass the days the saved ones still boast?
Ha! God's book of bliss has no blank pages,
For He who named each star guides the ages!

There will be eating in heaven, because one of the great parties the Bible foretells is called the Wedding Feast of Christ and the Church. There will be living water to drink which enables us to live forever. There will be ample and luxurious living quarters, for Jesus said that in His Father's home each would have a mansion. There will be no doctors and undertakers in heaven, for we neither get sick or die. There will be no physical or mental handicaps there, and we will all be in our most prime condition forever. We will never get tired and won't have to sleep if we don't want to, There will be no sun in heaven; all the light will be emanated from Christ Jesus, God. The walls will be made of translucent gold, and there will be no shadows or darkness.

There we will recognize, love, and honor family members and friends from earth, but there is no marriage between us. The counterfeit Christianity, Islam, believes that martyrs who die in war or suicide bombings will receive 72 beautiful young virgins as a gift from Allah upon entering Paradise. I don't know if we will have sex in heaven; I think not, for our bodies will be similar to angels', neither male or female. We will be able to see across the void into hell, and the poor souls there can see us. No one will go back and forth between heaven and hell.

There is a prophecy of a 1000-year reign on earth by Christ, but some believe it is only symbolic. However, we are told that we will assist Christ Jesus the King in administering the Kingdom, and the angels will be subordinate to us. By the way, the term "saint" applies only to Christians in heaven, not on earth. There was and will be only one sinless himan being, Jesus of Nazareth. The Catholic Church honors men and women who have lived exceptional Christlike lives as Saints and believe they went straight to heaven at death with no detour to Purgatory. Protestants don't believe in Purgatory. We believe every Christian's soul goes straight to heaven at death. We won't get bored in heaven.
