1.Looking for that City holy, bright and fair,

Lord, how much I crave of all Thy pleasures to Share!

Clothed in glorious garment in New Jerusalem

I’ll rejoice and sing of Thee through endless time!

            CHORUS

O Jesus come!

I long to see Thy face,

O Jesus come!

I yearn for Thee-O how I long to be me with Thee!

2.Looking for that City where I’ll find sweet rest

Knowing that to be with Thee, my Lord, I am blessed,

Groaning in this body, Thy coming I await,

Thrilling that will be to reach that pearly gate!

3.Looking for that City where with joy I’ll own

What resplendent glory for the sufferings now borne!

I’ll be here a stranger, my heart affixed to Thee,

Loving not my life, I’ll pour it out for Thee.

4.Looking for that City, built by Thee unique,

Where Thou art her corner stone in Zion her Peak

Lord I pray Thou mould me, her lively stone to be

I’ll reflect Thy light, Thy beauty seen in me.

5.Looking for that City, shining crystal clear,

By Thy love redeemed, I’ll turn as spotless and Pure

Righteousness and wisdom art Thou to me, O Lord;

There I’ll be with Thee; Thy likeness my reward.
