We Journey to a City

Author: Henry Burton Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 4 #11 (1921) Lyrics: 1 We journey to a city, Which eye hath never seen; We journey to a country, Whose shores are ever green. Far, far away it lieth, Beyond the valley low, Beyond the chilling river, Beyond its waves of woe. Refrain: We journey to a city, Which eye hath never seen; We journey to a country, Whose shores are ever green. 2 No eye hath seen its glories, Its joys have ne’er been told; No cloud of sorrow passes Over its streets of gold. But strains of sweetest music, Float on its balmy air, And voices of the harpers Who sing their triumph there. [Refrain] 3 They sing the name of Jesus, Who washed them in His blood; The Lamb who went before them, Thro’ desert, fire and flood. No more the far-off vision; With open face they see The King in all His beauty, Who died to set them free. [Refrain] 4 We journey to a city, Which eye hath never seen; We journey to a country, Whose shores are ever green. A little while of tempest, And then the endless calm; A little while of battle, And then the victor’s palm. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [We journey to a city]

We Journey to a City

Author: Rev. Henry Burton Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #48 (1915) Lyrics: 1 We journey to a city, Which eye hath never seen; We journey to a country, Whose shores are ever green. Far, far away it lieth, Beyond the valley low, Beyond the chilling river, Beyond its waves of woe. Refrain: We journey to a city, Whose gates are open wide, And angel voices greet us Beyond the swelling tide. 2 No eye hath seen its glories, Its joys have ne’er been told; No cloud of sorrow passes Over its streets of gold. But strains of sweetest music, Float on its balmy air, And voices of the harpers Who sing their triumph there. [Refrain] 3 They sing the name of Jesus, Who wash’d them in His blood; The Lamb who went before them, Thro’ desert, fire and flood. No more the far-off vision; With open face they see The King in all His beauty, Who died to set them free. [Refrain] 4 We journey to a city, Which eye hath never seen; We journey to a country, Whose shores are ever green. A little while of tempest, And then the endless calm; A little while of battle, And then the victor’s palm. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We journey to a city]
