36. The Wonderful City

1 I know there's a beautiful city,
Where sorrows forever are o'er
For those who are trusting in Jesus,
On that beautiful golden shore.

Refrain:
'Tis there I am going,
When toiling is o'er
With Jesus, my Savior,
On that beautiful shore.

2 I know there's a wonderful city,
Its glories have never been told;
Its walls are of beautiful jasper,
And its streets are all laid with gold. [Refrain]

3 I know there's a glorious city,
Where loved ones are waiting for me,
No evil its portals can enter,
It is there that I long to be. [Refrain]

4 I know there's a city eternal,
A land where there cometh no night;
The beautiful home of the ransomed,
'Tis the city of pure delight. [Refrain]
