LYRIC

Thereโ€™s a holy and beautiful city,
Whose builder and ruler is God.
John saw it descending from heaven
When Patmos, in exile, he trod;
Its high, massive wall is of jasper,
The city itself is pure gold;
And when my frail tent here is folded,
Mine eyes shall its glory behold.

CHORUS

In that bright city, pearly white city,
I have a mansion, a harp, and a crown;
Now I am watching, waiting and longing,
For the white city John saw coming down.

No sin is allowed in that city,
And nothing defiling nor mean;
No pain and no sickness can enter,
No crape on the doorknob is seen;
Earthโ€™s sorrows and cares are forgotten,
No tempter is there to annoy;
No parting words ever are spoken,
Thereโ€™s nothing to hurt and destroy.

No heartaches are known in that city,
No tears ever moisten the eye,
Thereโ€™s no disappointment in heaven,
No envy and strife in the sky;
The saints are all sanctified wholly,
They live in sweet harmony there;
My heart is now set on that city,
And some day its blessings Iโ€™ll share.

My loved ones are gathering yonder,
My friends, too, are passing away;
And soon I shall join their bright number,
And dwell in eternityโ€™s day;
Theyโ€™re safe now in glory with Jesus,
Their trials and battles are past;
They overcome sin and the tempter,
Theyโ€™ve reached that fair city at last.
