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.

Refrain
