Have you heard of the golden paved city

1 O hear of a gold pav­èd ci­ty,
Away in the realms of the blest:
Its pearl gates stand op­en for­ev­er,
Inviting earth’s wea­ry to rest.
No tears dim the eyes that are beam­ing
With light from eter­ni­ty’s spring,
No grief la­den sighs ever min­gle
With an­thems the blood ran­somed sing.

2 No night ever dark­ens its beau­ty,
No storm cloud o’er­sha­dows its sky:
The lights of the jewel wall­èd ci­ty
Are beams from the kind Father’s eyes.
A crown and a man­sion await us
In city of sap­phire and gold:
Come drink of its life giv­ing fount­ain
And bask in its plea­sures un­told.
