9414. Beautiful City

1 Beautiful city, blessèd and fair,
Beautiful country, treasures most rare;
Beautiful land, who thy glories can tell?
With the redeemed ones we there shall dwell.

Refrain:
Beautiful city, beautiful city,
Fashioned by Jesus, the builder divine;
Beautiful city, beautiful city,
O when shall thy pleasures be mine?

2 Beautiful city, lovely thy light,
Beautiful city—never ’tis night;
Beautiful mansion prepared there for me,
O how I long thy rich beauties to see. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful home, when shall we be there?
Beautiful land, thy happiness share?
Beautiful city, we long for thy rest,
There with the Savior be happy and blest. [Refrain]
