Oh, the ci­ty of the Lord is com­ing down,
Oh, the ci­ty of the Lord is com­ing down;
When the saints for Je­sus wait­ing
Shall re­ceive the vic­tor’s crown,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.

Refrain

Cometh down, com­eth down,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down,
There’ll be glo­ry all around,
When the wait­ing saints are crowned;
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.

There’ll be joy in earth and Hea­ven in that day,
There’ll be joy in earth and Hea­ven in that day;
We’ll sing glo­ry, hal­le­lu­jah!
When we all re­ceive a crown,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.

Refrain

All the peo­ple of the Lord shall be as one,
All the peo­ple of the Lord shall be as one;
When the Bride­groom comes in glo­ry,
And we all re­ceive a crown,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.

Refrain

There will be no death nor sor­row in that day,
There will be no death nor sor­row in that day;
For the hand of God, our Fa­ther,
All our tears shall wipe away,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.

Refrain

In that love­ly gold­en city we are told,
In that love­ly gold­en ci­ty we are told;
Saints will all unite in sing­ing
With a gold­en harp and crown,
When the ci­ty of the Lord com­eth down.
