Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1350 (1886) First Line: I'll sing you a song of a city Lyrics: 1 I'll sing you a song of a city
Which mortals have never yet seen,
I'll sing you a song of a country
Whose valleys forever are green;
Whose murmuring streamlets and fountains
The ransomed ones soon shall behold,
The glorious light of whose mountains
No tongue has ever yet told.
Chorus:
The half has never been told,
The half has never been told;
O, wonderful kingdom of glory!
The half has never been told.
2 I'll sing of those beautiful mansions
The Saviour has gone to prepare;
I'll sing of the noontide of glory
That lingers eternally there;
I'll sing of life's tree and life's river,
I'll sing of the streets of pure gold:
Tho' thousands have sung of these glories,
The half has never been told. [Chorus]
3 I'll sing you a song of the loved ones
We'll meet on those beautiful plains,
Where sorrow and death cannot enter,
Where friendship forevermore reigns;
I'll sing of the life that's unending,
Of songs that shall never grow old,
Whose heavenly harmonies blending,
Are robed in beauty untold. [Chorus]
4 But hark! there is something more precious
Than all of these pleasures so rare,
The hope of beholding my Saviour,
The promise of knowing him there
Who trod the rough, pathway before us
Those portals of bliss to unfold
Who suffered and died to restore us;
His love can never be told. [Chorus]
