There Is a City

Ulysses Phillips • English

Primary Scripture: Revelation 21

Verse 1

There is a city, so I’ve been told, With gates of pearl and streets of gold; It’s a walled in city, on eternal heights, Where it’s always day, with never a night.

Chorus

Let’s go to the city, and a land of song, Where all is right and there’s no wrong; I’m just awaiting for the trumpet sound, Goodbye, old world, I’m heaven bound.

Verse 2

There is a city, so bright and fair, There is no death, no sorrows there; It’s a beautiful place, come and go with me To that happy home by the crystal sea.

Chorus

Let’s go to the city, and a land of song, Where all is right and there’s no wrong; I’m just awaiting for the trumpet sound, Goodbye, old world, I’m heaven bound.

Verse 3

I’ve been invited, so I must go, And meet my Lord, who loved me so; There I’ll see His face, and His glory share, And ever rejoice with the angels there.

Chorus

Let’s go to the city, and a land of song, Where all is right and there’s no wrong; I’m just awaiting for the trumpet sound, Goodbye, old world, I’m heaven bound.

Verse 4

There is a city with mansions fair, All the redeemed shall gather there; Hurry and get washed in the crimson flow, For your robe must be whiter than the snow.

Chorus

Let’s go to the city, and a land of song, Where all is right and there’s no wrong; I’m just awaiting for the trumpet sound, Goodbye, old world, I’m heaven bound.
