Honey Out of the Rock ‎#86

86. That Beautiful City of Gold

1 There’s a city that looks o’er the valley of death,
And its glories may never be told;
There the sun never sets, and the leaves never fade,
In that beautiful City of gold.

Refrain:
Beautiful City of Gold,
Beautiful City of Gold;
Beautiful City of Gold.
Half of it never was told.

2 There the King, our Redeemer, the Lord whom we love,
Will the faithful with rapture behold;
There the righteous forever shall shine as the stars,
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry soul we have led to the foot of the cross,
Ev’ry lamb we have brought to the fold,
Will be kept as bright jewels our crowns to adorn,
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain]

4 There sickness and sorrow, and death are unknown;
There glories on glories unfold;
There the Lamb is the light in the midst of the throne,
In that beautiful City of gold. [Refrain]
