I
MANY HIGHWAYS WE'VE TRAVELED
MANY ROADS WE HAVE TROD.
IN SEARCH OF A CITY PREPARED ON THE CROSS.
BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BETTER DAY
WHERE WE'LL LAY IT ALL DOWN.
AND HEAR HIM SAY WELCOME HERE'S YOUR ROBE AND YOUR CROWN.
II
OVER THERE STANDS MY MANSION
AND MY NAME'S ON THE DOOR.
I'LL REST BY THE RIVER ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
WHERE THE WATER RUNS FREELY FORM THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
WE'LL ALL BE SO HAPPY FOREVER WITH CHRIST.
CHORUS
ONE GLIMPSE OF THAT CITY ONE LOOK ON HIS FACE.
ONE STROLL BY THE RIVER IN THAT WONDERFUL PLACE.
WILL BE WORTH ALL THE TRIALS WILL BE WORTH ALL THE TEARS.
WE'LL LIVE THROUGH THE AGES WITH LOVED ONES SO DEAR.
