1 Oh, city of the angels!
In dreams divinely sweet,
I pass thy open gateways,
And walk thy golden street;
I join the grand sweet anthems
Before the great white throne;
And I am filled with rapture
That earth has never known.
Refrain:
Oh, city of the angels!
Beyond thy jasper gates,
For all earth’s weary pilgrims
What rest and peace awaits!
2 Oh, mansions of my Father!
I enter through thy doors
Of amethyst and jasper,
And tread thy golden floors;
And those who went before me,
And long since ceased to roam,
Cry out in sudden rapture,
Oh, welcome! welcome home! [Refrain]
3 Oh, rest beyond the river!
Thou art not fully won;
I may not share thy rapture
Until my work is done;
When death’s white angel calls me,
And I no longer roam,
Oh, city of the angels,
In thee I’ll find my home! [Refrain]
