The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#57

57. The City of Gold

1 In the Bible we read of a city
Where the faithful shall never grow old;
I have heard that its wonderful roadways
Are built of the purest gold.

Chorus:
I long for that city,
Its walls are of jasper I'm told;
I'm bound for that city,
That beautiful city of God.

2 On the Island of Patmos John saw it,
In its grandeur he saw it unfold;
And he saw its walls were of jasper,
This beautiful city of gold. [Chorus]

3 O they need not the sun in that city,
For the glory of God, we are told,
Is the light of that wonderful city,
The beautiful city of gold. [Chorus]

4 I expect to live there in that city
While the years of eternity roll;
I expect to live there with my Savior
In the beautiful city of gold [Chorus]
