Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Gospel Herald in Song #136 (1899) First Line: There's a city that looks o'er the valley of death Refrain First Line: Beautiful, beautiful City of Gold Lyrics: 1 There’s a city that looks o’er the valley of death,
And its glories may never be told;
There the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade,
In that beautiful City of gold.
Refrain:
Beautiful, beautiful City of Gold,
Beautiful, beautiful City of Gold;
Half of thy beauty hath never been told
Beautiful, beautiful City of Gold.
2 There the King, our Redeemer, the Lord whom we love,
Will the faithful with rapture behold;
There the righteous forever shall shine as the stars,
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain]
3 Ev’ry soul we have led to the foot of the cross,
Ev’ry lamb we have bro’t to the fold,
Will be kept as bright jewels our crowns to adorn,
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain]
4 There sickness and sorrow, and death are unknown;
There glories on glories unfold;
There the Lamb is the light in the midst of the throne
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a city that looks o'er the valley of death]
