Praise and Promise ‎#152

152. The New Jerusalem

1 There’s a land of fadeless beauty in the sky,
And we’ll reach the Holy City by and by;
When the storms of life are o’er,
We shall gain that blessed shore,
We shall gather in that City by and by.

Refrain:
By and by, by and by,
We shall reach that Holy City by and by;
When the storms of life are o’er
We shall gain that blessed shore,
We shall gather in that City by and by, by and by.

2 In that land no tears will ever dim the eye,
And we’ll reach the Holy City by and by;
With our trials overpast,
We shall gather home at last,
We shall gather in that City by and by. [Refrain]

3 In that blessed land the people never die,
And we’ll reach the Holy City by and by;
There we’ll never know a pain,
Never more be sick again,
We shall gather in that City by and by. [Refrain]

4 We have dear ones waiting for us up on high,
And we’ll reach the Holy City by and by;
Safe with them while ages fly,
We shall never say good-bye,
When we gather in that City by and by. [Refrain]
