Author: L. D. Santee Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1692 First Line: There's a beautiful city that lies far away Refrain First Line: O beautiful city, city of gold Lyrics: 1. There’s a beautiful city that lies far away
From the earth with its burden of tears,
Where the night never enters, but shadowless day
Shines on through eternity’s years.
Refrain
O beautiful city, city of gold;
O beautiful city, treasures untold;
O beautiful city, city of gold;
When shall I rest in that beautiful city of gold?
2. From the shadows are lifted our sorrowful eyes
To the hills where the angels have trod,
And our hearts ever yearn for our home in the skies,
Our home in the garden of God. [Refrain]
3. And there all of our sorrows shall fade as a dream
As we enter the country of rest,
While before us in heavenly beauty shall gleam,
The mansions prepared for the blest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a beautiful city that lies far away]

================
Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936.
