The Unseen City

Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #108 (1901) First Line: There is a city that gleams afar Refrain First Line: O beautiful city unseen Lyrics: 1 There is a city that gleams afar Where flow’rs are blooming ever; A city that needs no sun or star, For God is light forever; And fairer far its streets that wait Than rose of song or story, For through the bars of sunset gates We almost catch its glory. Refrain: O beautiful city unseen, Where mortal hath never been, O when we shall stand at Thy gate, O may it not be too late, O when we shall stand at Thy gate, O may it not be too late. 2 O fair the skies that o’er us lean With radiant splendor shining, Yet brighter far that land unseen Beyond our weak divining; For past the portals of its gates There is no sin or sorrow, No weary pathway there awaits, No long and sad tomorrow. [Refrain] 3 O city fair! O land of bloom! O realm of radiance tender! Within that home may we find room, That home of peace and splendor; For past the portals of its gates There is no sin or sorrow, No weary pathway there awaits, No long and sad tomorrow. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is a city that gleams afar]
