Looking for a City
1. Here among the shadows living in a lonely land, With strangers we're a band of pilgrims on the move; Thru dangers burden'd down with sorrows, And we're shunned on every hand, But we are looking for a city built above
Looking for a city where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say good-by. There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
2. Here in disappointment often we so sadly roam, And earthly friends no longer speak one word of love; But truly we have found contentment, Jesus promised us a home, So we are looking for a city built above
Looking for a city built above. Looking for a city where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say good-by. There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
3. In this land of dangers we are going here and there, We're simply trusting in the blessed Savior's love; And mercy tho' we may be strangers, Living in this world of care, We' re always looking for a city built above
Looking for a city built above. Looking for a city where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say good-by. There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
