Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr.Hymnal: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined #164 (1922)Hymnal Title: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 CombinedFirst Line: There's a city "Foursquare" in the heavensRefrain First Line: O that beautiful city "Foursquare!"Lyrics: 1 There’s a city “Four-square” in the heavens,
And they call it the city of rest;
On two sides—north and south each are face,
And the other two face east and west.
Refrain:
O that beautiful city “Four square!”
There are gateways for all to enter there;
From the north and from the south, from the east and from the west,
There’s a welcome to the city of rest.
2 On each side are three gates always open,
One for each of the twelve tribes of old;
So all we who are heirs to the promise
Have a right to that city of gold. [Refrain]
3 To that city “Four-square” in the heavens,
Jesus Christ on the Cross paid my way;
So I’ll ask all the world to go with me,
Those twelve gates are not closed night or day. [Refrain]Languages: EnglishTune Title: [There's a city "Four-square" in the heavens]
