That Heavenly City

A heav­en­ly cit­y is wait­ing ab­ove

Prepared by our Sav­ior’s own hand

For all of God’s child­ren who trust in His love

While tra­vel­ing on to that land.

Leave the dark­ness

dear sin­ner

why wait so long?

O trust in the Sav­ior’s blest love

And ev­er­more dwell with the glo­ri­ous throng

In that heav­en­ly city above!

When we to that ci­ty shall cross o’er the tide

And loved ones have wel­comed us in

With Je­sus our Sav­ior

we e’er shall ab­ide

Secure from all sor­row and sin.

O yes

’twill be glo­ri­ous to gain that bright shore

And live with our Sav­ior up there

To sing with the an­gels the sweet sto­ry o’er

And all of Heav’n’s bless­ings to share.

O sin­ner

now yield to the Sav­ior and live

For He is the Truth and the Way;

He’ll cleanse you from ev­il and free­ly for­give

And you shall be hap­py each day!
