1 Only a pilgrim here and a stranger,
Seeking a city builded on high,
Sing me the songs of Christ and His glory,
These, only these my heart satisfy.

Refrain:
Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom,
Telling of Christ and His wonderful love;
Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom,
Lifting our souls to glories above.

2 Sing of His blood which purchased our pardon,
Sing of His mercy, boundless and free;
Sing of His love which flows as a river,
Sing of His grace which saves even me. [Refrain]

3 Sing of that wondrous city of mansions,
Jesus Himself its glory and light;
Sing of the rest God’s people awaiting,
Walking with Him in garments of white. [Refrain]

4 Keep your harp tuned, oh! child of the Kingdom,
Washed and redeemed, through Jesus an heir;
Soon with our life work done we shall join them,
In the glad glory-song over there. [Refrain]
The Best of All: complete #258 (1910)
