Lyrics

There is a ci­ty bright and fair,
In the glo­ry land;
Where joy­ful prais­es fill the air,
In the glo­ry land.

Refrain

In the glo­ry land, bright glo­ry land,
In the glo­ry land so fair;
Where joy­ful prais­es fill the air,
In the glo­ry land.

Where ne­ver cometh any night
In the glo­ry land;
For God the Fa­ther is the light,
In the glo­ry land.

Refrain

And there my Sav­ior now doth wait
In the glo­ry land,
To meet us at the gold­en gate,
In the glo­ry land.
