Author: Mrs. C. H. M.Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #73 (1916)First Line: I've heard of a beautiful city Refrain First Line: And the gates of that beautiful city of goldLyrics: 1 I've heard of a beautiful city
Prepared in God's kingdom on high;
A wonderful city of mansions,
Where none ever sicken or die.
Chorus:
And the gates (The gates) of that beautiful city of gold
Shall never be (Shall never be closed)closed at all by day;
The Lamb, (The Lamb) is the light of that city, we're told;
Those glories never shall pass away. (away.)
2 Its walls are all builded of jasper,
Its streets are all golden and fair;
The ransomed and saved of all ages
Forever are gathering there. [Chorus]
3 They're singing the praises of Jesus,
The Lamb who for sinners was slain;
O'er death and the grave He has triumphed,
And liveth forever to reign. [Chorus]
4 What joy, when the King in His beauty
My wondering eyes shall behold,
To join in the song of the ransomed
Throughout all the ages untold! [Chorus]Languages: EnglishTune Title: [I've heard of a beautiful city]
