LyicsThe city of our God
Now bursts upon my sight,
And hosts of the redeemed
Arrayed in spotless white;
The crown of righteousness
Encircles every brow;
The toils and cares of earth
Are all forgotten 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 nets
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.
