|
|
<p>I have read of a beautiful city,<br>
|
|
Far away in the kingdom of God;<br>
|
|
I have read how its walls are of jasper,<br>
|
|
How its streets are all golden and broad;<br>
|
|
In the midst of the street is life’s river,<br>
|
|
Clear as crystal and pure to behold;<br>
|
|
But not half of that city’s bright glory<br>
|
|
To mortals has ever been told.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Not half has ever been told;<br>
|
|
Not half has ever been told;<br>
|
|
Not half of that city’s bright glory<br>
|
|
To mortals has ever been told.</p>
|
|
<p>I have read of bright mansions in heaven,<br>
|
|
Which the Savior has gone to prepare;<br>
|
|
And the saints who on earth have been faithful,<br>
|
|
Rest forever with Christ over there;<br>
|
|
There no sin ever enters, nor sorrow,<br>
|
|
The inhabitants never grow old;<br>
|
|
But not half of the wonderful story<br>
|
|
To mortals has ever been told.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I have read of white robes for the righteous,<br>
|
|
Of bright crowns which the glorified wear,<br>
|
|
When our Father shall bid them, “Come, enter,<br>
|
|
And My glory eternally share”;<br>
|
|
How the righteous are evermore blessed<br>
|
|
As they walk through the streets of pure gold;<br>
|
|
But not half of the wonderful story<br>
|
|
To mortals has ever been told.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I have read of a Christ so forgiving,<br>
|
|
That vile sinners may ask and receive<br>
|
|
Peace and pardon for every transgression,<br>
|
|
If when asking they only believe.<br>
|
|
I have read how He’ll guide and protect us,<br>
|
|
If for safety we enter His fold;<br>
|
|
But not half of His goodness and mercy<br>
|
|
To mortals has ever been told.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
