1.There once was a little city

Besieged by alien king and bound;

But the king of heaven came down

To set it at liberty

CHORUS

O Jesus, You’ve made me a city,

That’s set on a hill to show forth Your beauty

O Jesus, You’ve made me a city

The city of God to be.

2.We once were a people riven

By cares and strife and grief profound;

But You came! In You we have found

A city, a happy hav’n.

3.You’ve captured my heart, my Jesus!

By love for me, You left Your throne

O for You, my all I disown

And lost in You, run my race.

4.I’ve no continuing city

On earth, as stranger here I fare

But I know ere long You’ll declare,

“Mine, you’ll be eternally”.

5.You’re coming to take to glory

The saints who form Jerusalem

By their lives lived free from all blame,

Great City! O there I’ll be!
