heavenwards
Up to glory
Heavenwards means toward heaven or the sky, directed upward: She gazed heavenwards.
The word appears in both literal contexts—looking or pointing at the sky—and figurative ones involving prayer, death, or spiritual aspiration: His thoughts turned heavenwards as the end approached.
Also spelled heavenward.
