Beautiful City of Gold (Kilgore)

Beautiful ci­ty of gold

O how my heart longs for thee!

The streets are as clear as crys­tal

The pear­ly gates we shall see.

Beautiful ci­ty of gold (of gold)

Bought by the blood of the Lamb

we are told;

All who would ev­er that beau­ty be­hold

Must come to Je­sus and en­ter the fold.

Home of the bride of Je­sus

That beau­ti­ful home so fair

His bride

too

is fair and spot­less

Her gar­ments were wrought with care.

Some day we’ll meet all our loved ones

When Je­sus our Lord shall come

With an­gels and clouds of glo­ry

Far bright­er than noon­day’s sun.

Friend

if you ev­er would en­ter

That beau­ti­ful land of light

Be washed in the blood of Je­sus

And thou shalt rec­eive thy sight.
