The Wonderful City - Jimmie Rodgers

I’m waiting watching and longing

That beautiful sight to behold

When I shall awake some bright morning

In that city where streets are bright gold

My savior has gone to see Paris

For all to accept his grace

And that’s how I know I’ll be welcome

To a home in that wonderful place

When I reach my home in that city

Shall I find you waiting up there

With the saints who have gone on before us

To that beautiful home so fair

My whole heart is set up on heaven

Where my savior shall see

And live in the light of his glory

For all eternity

He bids us to work in his vineyard

To toil for him early and late

What a glorious reward or our labor

To enter that beautiful gate

When I reach my home in that city

Shall I find you waiting up there

With the saints who have gone on before us

To that beautiful home so fair

My whole heart is set up on heaven

Where my savior shall see

And live in the light of his glory

For all eternity
