City of beauty

Author: M. E. Servoss Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #5 (1892) First Line: O city of beauty, I long to behold Refrain First Line: But dearer by far than all to me Lyrics: 1 O city of beauty, I long to behold Thy pearly white gates and thy pavement of gold; And I long for a stroll on that beautiful shore, Where earth-weary feet shall grow weary no more. Refrain: But dearer by far than all to me, Is the tho’t that the face of my Lord I shall see; Yes, dearer by far than all to me, Is the tho’t that the face of my Lord I shall see. 2 When sad and oppress’d with life’s burdens and fears, Sweet tho’ts of that city my weary heart cheers, And I feel that each battle must bravely be won That I may rejoice in a Father’s “well done.” [Refrain] 3 My Savior hath promised for me to prepare A home in that country so peaceful and fair; And I rest in this hope, till his loving command Shall summon me home to that beautiful land. [Refrain] Topics: Christ; Heaven Tune Title: [O city of beauty, I long to behold]
