Looking For A City

Intro: verse 1: 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-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. verse 2: 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-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. verse 3: 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-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
