THE HEAVENLY CITY

1.I know of a beautiful City,
   Far away in the Kingdom of God;
   I have read how its walls are of jasper,
   How its streets are all golden and broad.

        CHORUS

        Oh, what glory awaits me up there,
        In that beautiful City of rest,
        I shall see the great King in his beauty
         In that glorified Land of the blest.

2. In the midst of the street is life’s river,
   Clear as crystal and fair to behold;
   There no sin ever enters to sever,
   The inhabitants never grow old.

3. There are white robes reserved for the righteous,
    And bright crowns which the glorified wear;
   We’ll be changed to His image supernal,
   And His glory eternally share.

4.There we’ll sing the new song of the righteous,
   As we gather around the bright throne;
  Oh, the Son will rejoice with the Father,
  And His Bride, He’ll eternally own.
