16697. The Beautiful Pearly Gate

1 Have you heard of that bright ci­ty,
With its op­en pear­ly gate?
Where the ran­somed ones are sing­ing,
And the loved ones for us wait.

Refrain:
Over there the an­gels wait,
Over there,
At the beau­ti­ful pear­ly gate.

2 Have you heard of that bright riv­er,
Clear as crys­tal, pure and free?
Flowing from the throne of glo­ry,
Soon its beau­ties we shall see. [Refrain]

3 Will you go to that bright ci­ty,
With im­mor­tals will you live?
Trust in Je­sus, love and serve Him,
And eter­nal life He’ll give. [Refrain]
