Looking For A City

Here among the shadows in a lonely land
We're a band of pilgrims on the move
Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand
Looking for a city built above

Looking for a city, where we'll never die
There the sainted millions, never say good-bye
There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too
Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew

Here in disappointment we so sadly roam
Friends no longer speak one word of love;
O we have found contentment, Jesus promised us a home
And I'm looking for a city built above

Looking for a city, where we'll never die
There the sainted millions, never say good-bye
There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too
Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes rene

In this land of dangers going here and there
Trusting in the blessed Saviors love
Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care
Looking for a city built above

Looking for a city, where we'll never die
There the sainted millions, never say good-bye
There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too
Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes rene
