Hymn/Song Information

There is a city so I've been told

There is a city, so I’ve been told,
With gates of pearl
and streets of gold;
It’s a walled in city,
on eternal heights,
Where it’s always day,
with never a night.

Let’s go to the city,
and a land of song,
Where all is right
and there’s no wrong;
I’m just awaiting for
the trumpet sound,
Goodbye, old world,
I’m heaven bound.

There is a city, so bright and fair,
There is no death, no sorrows there;
It’s a beautiful place,
come and go with me
To that happy home
by the crystal sea.

Let’s go to the city,
and a land of song,
Where all is right
and there’s no wrong;
I’m just awaiting for
the trumpet sound,
Goodbye, old world,
I’m heaven bound.

I’ve been invited, so I must go,
And meet my Lord,
who loved me so;
There I’ll see His face,
and His glory share,
And ever rejoice
with the angels there.

Let’s go to the city,
and a land of song,
Where all is right
and there’s no wrong;
I’m just awaiting for
the trumpet sound,
Goodbye, old world,
I’m heaven bound.

There is a city with mansions fair,
All the redeemed shall gather there;
Hurry and get washed
in the crimson flow,
For your robe must
be whiter than the snow.

Let’s go to the city,
and a land of song,
Where all is right
and there’s no wrong;
I’m just awaiting for
the trumpet sound,
Goodbye, old world,
I’m heaven bound.
