Oh, city of the angels!
In dreams divinely sweet,
I pass thy open gateways,
And walk thy golden street;
I join the grand sweet anthems
Before the great white throne;
And I am filled with rapture
That earth has never known.
Oh, city of the angels!
Beyond thy jasper gates,
For all earth’s weary pilgrims
What rest and peace awaits!
Oh, mansions of my Father!
I enter through thy doors
Of amethyst and jasper,
And tread thy golden floors;
And those who went before me,
And long since ceased to roam,
Cry out in sudden rapture,
Oh, welcome! welcome home!
Oh, city of the angels!
Beyond thy jasper gates,
For all earth’s weary pilgrims
What rest and peace awaits!
Oh, rest beyond the river!
Thou art not fully won;
I may not share thy rapture
Until my work is done;
When death’s white angel calls me,
And I no longer roam,
Oh, city of the angels,
In thee I’ll find my home!
Oh, city of the angels!
Beyond thy jasper gates,
For all earth’s weary pilgrims
What rest and peace awaits!
