The Golden City
Author: Minna Foote Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #19 (1904) First Line: There is a city far beyond the skies Refrain First Line: [O city fair, O city bright] Lyrics: 1 There is a city far beyond the skies,
A heav'nly home with mansions bright and fair,
Fill with good deeds each moment, as it flies,
That you may find a treasure waiting there.
Chorus:
O city fair, O city bright,
O land of love, where Jesus is the light,
There is no death nor parting there,
In that blest home, the golden city fair.
2 There is no sun to light its streets of gold;
The Son of God the light thereof shall be,
No mortal tongue its beauties e'er has told,
No mortal eye its glories e'er shall see. [Chorus]
3 O strive to reach that golden city's gate,
In hope press on nor yield to dark despair,
Thy Lord and King with angel hosts await
To give his own a royal welcome there. [Chorus]
4 Some day I'll see that golden city's King,
Some day I'll walk its streets, its glories see,
Till then I'll wait and, waiting, ever sing
Glad songs of praise to him who waits for me. [Chorus]
