Lyrics
Chorus
(O yes,) we're looking for a city, Where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, Never say goodbye, (Yes, and) There we'll meet our Savior, And the saved ones too, Come, O Lord, my Savior All our hopes renew.
Verse 1
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 sorrows, (And we're) shunned on ev'ry hand, But we are looking for a city built above.
Verse 2
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.
