When the City Cometh Down

Verse 1

Oh, the city of the Lord is coming down, Oh, the city of the Lord is coming down; When the saints for Jesus waiting Shall receive the victor’s crown, When the city of the Lord cometh down.

Chorus

Cometh down, cometh down, When the city of the Lord cometh down, There’ll be glory all around, When the waiting saints are crowned; When the city of the Lord cometh down.

Verse 2

There’ll be joy in earth and Heaven in that day, There’ll be joy in earth and Heaven in that day; We’ll sing glory, hallelujah! When we all receive a crown, When the city of the Lord cometh down.

Verse 3

All the people of the Lord shall be as one, All the people of the Lord shall be as one; When the Bridegroom comes in glory, And we all receive a crown, When the city of the Lord cometh down.

Verse 4

There will be no death nor sorrow in that day, There will be no death nor sorrow in that day; For the hand of God, our Father, All our tears shall wipe away, When the city of the Lord cometh down.

Verse 5

In that lovely golden city we are told, In that lovely golden city we are told; Saints will all unite in singing With a golden harp and crown, When the city of the Lord cometh down.
