I long to see that city beautiful city of God
That city, New Jerusalem where the saints of old have trod
I long to see my mansion
He has prepared for me
Yes I long to see that city there in eternity
It's fifteen hundred miles square and the same distance high
Made of gold crystal clear like a jewel in the sky
Foundation made of jasper and gates made of pearl
I long to see that city coming down to this world
I long to see that city drink its water crystal clear
And eat fruit from the tree of life every month through out the year
And bask in His brilliant light shining out from His love
Yes I long to see that city coming down from above
I long to see that city and I know it won't be long
I can almost hear the angels singing a victory song
Can almost hear them saying good servants welcome home
Yes I long to see that city with Jesus on His throne
