The Heavenly Banquet by Samuel Barber Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1953

I would like to have the men of Heaven in my own house;
With vats of good cheer laid out for them
I would like to have the three Marys
Their fame is so great
I would like people from every corner of Heaven
I would like them to be cheerful in their drinking
I would like to have Jesus sitting here among them
I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings
I would like to be watching Heaven's family
Drinking it through all eternity
