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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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!
