There’s a ci­ty of light
’Mid the stars, we are told,
Where they know not a sor­row or care;
And the gates are of pearl,
And the streets are of gold,
And the build­ing ex­ceed­ing­ly fair.

Refrain

Let us pray for each oth­er,
Nor faint by the way
In this sad world of sor­row and care,
For that home is so bright,
And is al­most in sight,
And I trust in my heart you’ll go there.

Brother dear, ne­ver fear—
We shall tri­umph at last
If we trust in the word He has giv’n;
When our tri­als and toils,
And our weep­ings are past,
We shall meet in that home up in Heav’n.

Refrain

Sister dear, ne­ver fear—
For the Sav­ior is near,
With His hand He will lead you along;
And the way that is dark
Christ will gra­cious­ly clear,
And your mourn­ing shall turn to a song.

Refrain

Let us walk in the light
Of the Gos­pel di­vine,
Let us ev­er keep near to the cross;
Let us love, watch and pray,
In our pil­grim­age here,
Let us count all things else but as loss.

Refrain
