City of Gold

Verse 1

There's a city that looks o'er the valley of death, And its glories can never be told; There the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade, In that beautiful city of gold.

Chorus

There the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade; And the eyes of the faithful our Saviour behold, In that beautiful city of gold.

Verse 2

There the King, our Redeemer, the Lord whom we love, All the faithful with joy shall behold: There the righteous forever shall shine as the stars, In that beautiful city of gold.

Verse 3

Every soul we have led to the foot of the cross, Every lamb we have brought to the fold-- Shall be there as bright jewels, our crowns to adorn, In that beautiful city of gold.

Verse 4

There we'll tell how he loved and redeemed us from sin, But the half even there can't be told; There we'll sing the new song with the blood-washed at home, In that beautiful city of gold
