Lyrics The Wonderful City - Jimmie Rodgers

The Wonderful City

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
