IN THAT CITY LAMB IS LIGHT
There’s a country far beyond the starry sky, There’s a city where there never
comes a night;
If we’re faithful we shall go there by and by, It’s the city
where the Lamb is the light.
CHORUS
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there, and
when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the
light.
Here we have our days of sunshine, but we know That the sun which
shines upon us now so bright Will be
changed to clouds and rain until we go
To the City where the Lamb is the
light.
There the flowers bloom forever and the day Shall be one eternal day
without a night;
And our tears shall be
forever wiped away, In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our disappointments all the while, And our fondest hopes but
meet with bitter blight;
Though by night we weep, the morning brings a
smile, In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Then let sunlight fade, let twilight bring its gloom.
Not a shadow can my
blissful soul affright;
For I know that up in heaven there is room, In that
city where the Lamb is the light.
