Beautiful city built above, Beautiful kingdom full of love; Beautiful home where all may spend Beautiful days that ne'er shall end; Beautiful throne with jewels bright, Beautiful angels clothed in white; Beautiful mansions all may share, Beautiful beings shall dwell there. 2. Beautiful city of the blest, Beautiful walls with jasper drest; Beautiful gates of worth untold, Beautiful streets of purest gold; Beautiful throng by faith I see, Beautiful robes for you and me; Beautiful crowns that all may wear, Beautiful palms that all may bear. 3. Beautiful songs of Christ the King, Beautiful strains from glad harps ring; Beautiful light in that fair dome, Beautiful scenes in that sweet home; Beautiful river gliding by, Beautiful hills of glory nigh; Beautiful all with rapture rife, Beautiful home of light and life.
