1.Beautiful city, haven of peace,Beautiful home where weeping shall cease;When shall thy gates be opened to me?When shall I rest forever in thee?Refrain:Beautiful city, haven of peace,Home of the soul, where weeping shall cease;Beautiful city, waiting for me,When shall I rest forever in thee?2.Beautiful city, haven of joy,Heavenly praise our tongues shall employ;Glad are thy songs that never grow old,Bright are thy walls of jasper and gold. [Refrain]3.Beautiful city, haven of rest,Beautiful mansions, home of the blest;O how I long thy glories to see!Beautiful city, waiting for me. [Refrain]
