Representative Text

1 In heaven they're singing a wonderful song,
A theme that shall never grow old;
And glorified millions are singing it now,
In that beautiful city of gold.

Refrain:
They're singing the songs of salvation,
A story that never grows old;
And glorified millions are singing it now,
In that beautiful city of gold.

2 We read of its beauty, but somehow we know,
Its glory has never been told,
But think of the rapturous singing up there
In that beautiful city of gold. [Refrain]

3 What music we'll hear when the ransomed of earth,
Shall enter that heavenly fold,
When all redeemed singers shall join in that song
In that beautiful city of gold. [Refrain]
