The Gates Never Close

Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #73 (1916) First Line: I've heard of a beautiful city Refrain First Line: And the gates of that beautiful city of gold Lyrics: 1 I've heard of a beautiful city Prepared in God's kingdom on high; A wonderful city of mansions, Where none ever sicken or die. Chorus: And the gates (The gates) of that beautiful city of gold Shall never be (Shall never be closed)closed at all by day; The Lamb, (The Lamb) is the light of that city, we're told; Those glories never shall pass away. (away.) 2 Its walls are all builded of jasper, Its streets are all golden and fair; The ransomed and saved of all ages Forever are gathering there. [Chorus] 3 They're singing the praises of Jesus, The Lamb who for sinners was slain; O'er death and the grave He has triumphed, And liveth forever to reign. [Chorus] 4 What joy, when the King in His beauty My wondering eyes shall behold, To join in the song of the ransomed Throughout all the ages untold! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I've heard of a beautiful city]
