To That City Will You Go?

Author: Mrs. M. B. C. Slade Hymnal: Crowning Day, No. 6 #155 (1904) First Line: Where the jasper walls are beaming Refrain First Line: Down beside that wondrous river Lyrics: 1 Where the jasper walls are beaming, Where the pearly portals are glowing, Where the golden street is gleaming, Where the crystal waters are flowing. Refrain: Down beside that wondrous river, Where the tress of healing grow, We shall meet and live forever, To that city will you go? 2 Open are the shining portals; Shut by day or night are they never; With the glorified immortals, Will you dwell with them forevermore? [Refrain] 3 In that many-mansioned dwelling, Jesus one for you is preparing; Where hosannas glad are swelling, Will you come, there joy sweetly sharing? [Refrain] 4 Joyfully into the keeping Of our loving Lord are we going; No more sorrow, pain, nor weeping— No more waves of woe o’er us flowing. [Refrain] 5 There shall be no days declining, Tho’ no sun nor moon light the heaven; From amidst the throne is shining Glory, from the Lord freely given. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Where the jasper walls are beaming]
