LyicsThe ci-ty of our God
Now bursts up-on my sight,
And hosts of the re-deemed
Ar-rayed in spotless white;
The crown of righteous-ness,
En-cir-cles every brow;
The toils and cares of earth
Are all for-got-ten now.
The palm of victory
Is waving in the hand
Of all who, in that throng,
Before the Saviour stand;
They sing a lofty strain,
The numbers of their hymn
Excel the noblest notes
Of the bright seraphim.
Salvation is their theme,
Salvation to our God!
Salvation to the Lamb!
Who saved us by his blood:
For in that precious blood
They've washed away each stain,
And in his kingdom now
Eternally they reign.
