Looking Beyond

Author: S. C. Kirk Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #99 (1904) First Line: I'm looking beyond to the city of light Refrain First Line: I'm looking beyond, to the city of light Lyrics: 1 I'm looking beyond to the city of light Whose gates never close, where there never is night; Whose songs never cease and where praise to the King Is ever and ever the song that they sing! Chorus: I'm looking beyond, to the city of light, Whose gates never close, Where there never is night; I'm looking beyond, o'er the white crystal sea; I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking beyond. 2 I'm looking beyond to the land of the blest Where earth's weary ones are forever at rest; I see the great host of the white-robed throng! I hear the glad chorus! it echoes along! [Chorus] 3 I'm looking beyond, o'er the white crystal sea, Where loved ones now stand and are waiting for me; In melody sweet, I can hear them prolong The strains of the wonderful, wonderful song. [Chorus] 4 I'm looking beyond, where the race has been run; Earth's crosses are lost and a crown has been won. Already a host of the conquering throng Are swelling the notes of the victory song! [Chorus] 5 I'm looking beyond to the city where he A mansion in glory is keeping for me! I'm looking beyond to the day when my soul Shall join in the strains that eternally roll. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I'm looking beyond to the city of light]
