When I Stand in Yonder City

Author: Amelia Minerva Starkweather Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7324 First Line: When I stand in yonder city, with its mansions bright and fair Lyrics: 1. When I stand in yonder city, with its mansions bright and fair, And behold the angels robed in spotless white, As I join the hallelujahs of the saved in glory there, Shall I see you in that city of delight? Refrain When I stand in yonder city, With its mansions bright and fair, Shall I see you there my brother? Will you meet me in that city over there? 2. When I stand in yonder city, and my work on earth is done, I shall know my labors have not been in vain; I shall bear a golden scepter, for the souls that I have won From the chains of bondage to eternal gain. [Refrain] 3. When I stand in yonder city, there’s another I shall see, Who is fairer than ten thousand saints above; I shall see the Lord of glory, who hath lived and died for me, And who loves me with an everlasting love.[Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When I stand in yonder city, with its mansions bright and fair]
