Beautiful City Of Love

by Charles H. Mead

Have you heard the story, it has often been told,
Of the city and land where they never grow old?
Of its bright jasper walls and its streets of pure gold;
Oh, that beautiful city of love.

Have you heard the story, of the rest that remains,
In the land of no tears and the land of no pains!
Of the glory and joy, and the infinate gains
Oh, that beautiful city of love.

Have you heard the story, have you let it be known,
Of the land of no night and the king on His throne?
As He waits to receive and to welcome His own
Oh, that beautiful city of love.

Chorus

Sorrowless city on Canaan's bright shore
There are my loved ones who've gone on before,
Singing the praises of Christ evermore,
Beautiful city of love.
