1. There is a holy city,
A happy place above,
Among the starry regions,
Built by the God of love.
Refrain:
Yes, we’ll march around Jerusalem,
We’ll march around Jerusalem,
We’ll march around Jerusalem,
When we arrive at home.
2. That city has four walls with
Three gates on ev’ry side,
Thru which God’s children enter,
And love to go inside.
Refrain
3. The tree of life is there, with
Twelve fruits that all may eat,
And never fading flowers
Grow by the golden streets.
Refrain
4. There Jesus sits exalted,
As Prophet, Priest, and King;
The angels bow before Him,
And joyfully they sing.
Refrain
5. Oh city of my Saviour!
So full of peace, so blest;
Come soon for all your children,
And take us home to rest.
Refrain
