Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

we are looking for this song as my grandmother wrote it all down but none of us know what it is

It is a beautiful song. I know all of the words but do not have the music.

I know how the melody goes, but don't have a copy of the music.

I'd like to know how the melody goes if that's possible...?

My parents have sung this all my life. Words by Edward C Perry. Music by Asher Sizemore. The songbook we have it in has no cover or other information about the songbook. It says on the page that has the song: "Copyright 1935 by Arthur Sizemore, Louisville, Ky."

Sorry, the first "Asher" should have been "Arthur"

Hello, I too learned that song as a youngster. I believe it is by Asher Sizemore and Little Jimmie.

I have been trying to piece together the lyrics
Are these correct?

vs 1
Some build their Castles in Ireland,
Some build their Castles in Spain
But I'll build my Castle in Heaven
Where there's sun-shine and no rain;
Where every one loves each other and lends a helping hand
I'll build my Castle in Heaven, And not of stone and sand


vs2
Earthy treasures I know are wonderful,
Beautiful I must confess, But when you pass to eternal
You must have peace and rest
So open your heart to Jesus, And be a friend to man,
Build your Castle in Heaven, And not of stone and sand

Chorus
I'11 build my Castle in Heaven way up there in the blue,
And the door will alway's be open, To you my friends, to you;
Oh there we'll always be happy, No sorrow lingers there,
There's only a one-way ticket,
And that's your ticket of prayer
