Holy Bright City

There’s a paradise waiting for all of God’s children
When we lift off from this earthly sod
It’s a Heavenly homeland where we’ll live forever
It’s the holy bright city of God
They say we shall meet all the prophets and sages
In the city that I’m dreaming of
And we’ll join with our loved ones and friends praising Jesus
In the holy bright city of love

Chorus
There’s a holy bright city where the saved of this earth shall reside
Where life everlasting awaits for the pure and the tried
We’ll rest in that homeland where Heaven’s own angels have trod
And I’m longing to go there to that holy bright city of God

Those who sleep in the grave will arise with new bodies
When they burst forth from under the sod
And we who remain shall be caught up to meet them
In the holy bright city of God
Naught of evil shall enter the gates of that city
John saw coming down from above
There will be no more sorrow, sin, sickness nor dying
In that holy bright city of love
