When I Reach That City

On top of Mount Zion is a city,
And the earth with glory it doth fill;
I shall look on its beauty in the morning
When I reach that city on the hill.

CHORUS
Oh, that city on Mount Zion,
Tho'a pilgrim, yet I love Thee still;
I'll not love thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.

I^m invited to come home to that city,
For the Word says, whosoever will,
And I'll find there a mansion for me waiting
When I reach that city on the hill.

CHORUS
Oh, that city on Mount Zion,
Tho'a pilgrim, yet I love Thee still;
I'll not love thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.

Death will never molest me in that city,
Never leave me lying cold and chill;
And I'll enter to live up there forever
When I reach that city on the hill.

CHORUS
Oh, that city on Mount Zion,
Tho'a pilgrim, yet I love Thee still;
I'll not love thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.

So I'll stay here until my Saviour calls me,
Trying daily to perform His will;
Then He'll say unto me, Well done,up yonder,
When I reach that city on the hill.

CHORUS
Oh, that city on Mount Zion,
Tho'a pilgrim, yet I love Thee still;
I'll not love thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.
