Looking For A City
Here among the shadows (living) in a lonely land, With strangers we're a band of pilgrims on the move; Thru dangers burdened down with sorrow, And we're shunned on ev'ry 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 goodbye; There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
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, Where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say goodbye; There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
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, Where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say goodbye; There we'll meet our Savior, And our loved ones too, Come O holy Spirit, All our hopes renew.
