13371. Saints' Immortal Home

1 Beautiful city, built so far above,
Beautiful city, none on earth so fair;
Beautiful city, home of peace and love,
Beautiful city, saints of earth shall share.

Refrain:
Beautiful city, wonderful city,
Glorious city, city of our king.

2 Wonderful city, decked with jewels rare,
Wonderful city, brighter far than day,
Wonderful city, crowns await us there,
Wonderful city, where we’ll dwell for aye. [Refrain]

3 Glorious city, streets all paved with gold,
Glorious city, mansions of the blest,
Glorious city, half has not been told,
Glorious city, saints’ eternal rest. [Refrain]
