In That City Where The Lamb Is The Light
There's a country far beyond
the starry sky,
There's a city where there never
comes a night;
If we're faithful we shall go there
by and by,
It's the city where the Lamb is the light.
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I've a mansion over there,
and when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our days of sunshine,
but we know
That the sun which shines upon us
now so bright
Will be changed to clouds and rain
until we go
To the city where the Lamb is the light.
There the flowers bloom forever
and the day
Shall be one eternal day without a night;
And our tears shall be forever
wiped away,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our disappointments
all the while,
And our fondest hopes but meet
with bitter blight;
Though by night we weep,
the morning brings a smile,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Then let sunlight fade,
let twilight bring its gloom,
Not a shadow can my blissful soul
affright;
For I know that up in heaven
there is room,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
