The City of Love

We are wait­ing for the Mas­ter

To call us home;

We are long­ing for the man­sions above;

Where the bless­èd Sav­ior waits

For His child­ren’s com­ing

To as­sign to them the ci­ty of love.

Quartet

Where our wea­ry souls shall rest

sweet­ly rest

Lovingly on Je­sus’ breast

gen­tle breast.

Full Chorus

O we long to reach the shore

Where our sor­rows shall be o’er

And our hap­pi­ness shall be com­plete.

O our hearts are full of care

While on earth we dwell

But there’s rap­ture

joy and glad­ness above.

When our wea­ry march is end­ed

We’ll en­ter man­sions

Jesus gives us in the ci­ty of love.

Quartet

There no more our steps shall roam

sad­ly roam

But with Je­sus be at home

bless­èd home.

Full Chorus

Here our way is oft made sad

By the fruits of sin

But we turn our tear­ful eyes far above;

Then our hearts are all aglow

With the joys ce­les­ti­al

Waiting for us in the ci­ty of love.

Quartet

God will wipe away each tear

blind­ing tear

And will take away all fear

ev­ery fear.

Full Chorus
