1. 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.

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.

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.
