There’s a country far beyond
the starry sky,
There’s a city where
there never comes a night;
If we’re faithful we shall
go there by and by,
’Tis the city where
the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
And when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our days of sunshine,
but we know
That the sun which shines
upon us now so bright
Will be changed to clouds
and rain until we go
To the city where the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
And when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
There the flowers bloom forever
and the day
Shall be one eternal day
without a night;
And our tears shall be
forever wiped away,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
And when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our
disappointments all the while,
And our fondest hopes
but meet with bitter blight;
Tho’ by night we weep,
the morning brings a smile,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
And when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
Then let sunlight fade,
let twilight bring its gloom,
Not a shadow can
my blissful soul affright;
For I know that up i
n Heaven there is room,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
And when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
