Beautiful city, bless­èd and fair,
Beautiful coun­try, trea­sures most rare;
Beautiful land, who thy glo­ries can tell?
With the red­eemed ones we there shall dwell.

Refrain

Beautiful ci­ty, beau­ti­ful ci­ty,
Fashioned by Je­sus, the build­er divine;
Beautiful city, beau­ti­ful city,
O when shall thy plea­sures be mine?

Beautiful ci­ty, love­ly thy light,
Beautiful ci­ty—ne­ver ’tis night;
Beautiful man­sion pre­pared there for me,
O how I long thy rich beau­ties to see.

Refrain

Beautiful home, when shall we be there?
Beautiful land, thy hap­pi­ness share?
Beautiful ci­ty, we long for thy rest,
There with the Sav­ior be hap­py and blest.
