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.
