City of gold

there’s a city that looks o’er the valley of death,
and the glories can never be told;
there the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade,
in that beautiful city of gold.

refrain

there the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade;
and the eyes of the faithful our savior behold,
in that beautiful city of gold.

there the king, our redeemer, the lord whom we love,
all the faithful with rapture behold;
there the righteous forever shall shine as the stars,
in that beautiful city of gold.

refrain

every soul we have led to the foot of the cross,
every lamb we have brought to the fold,
shall be kept as bright jewels our crown to adorn,
in that beautiful city of gold.
