Over the river, shining forever, There is a city, I know, Wonderful City Over the river, shining forever, There is a city, I know, Wonderful story! mansions of glory Waiting for pilgrims below. Wonderful city; beautiful city, Built without hands by our King; Marvelous city, glorious city, Where we forever shall sing. 1-3 Words and Music by C. D. Williams
Home of the sages, saints of the ages, Martyrs and angels of light; Wonderful City Home of the sages, saints of the ages, Martyrs and angels of light; Free from all sadness, city of gladness, Always so peaceful and bright! Wonderful city; beautiful city, Built without hands by our King; Marvelous city, glorious city, Where we forever shall sing. 2-3
Hasten tomorrow, end of all sorrow, When this glad home I shall see; Wonderful City Hasten tomorrow, end of all sorrow, When this glad home I shall see; When with my Savior, happy forever, Resting above I shall be. Wonderful city; beautiful city, Built without hands by our King; Marvelous city, glorious city, Where we forever shall sing. 3-3
