Pearly White City ft. Glenna Campbell Lyrics

There's a holy and beautiful city

Whose Builder and Ruler is God

John saw it descending from Heaven

When Patmos in exile he trod

Its high massive wall is of jasper

The city itself is pure gold

And when my frail tent here is folded

Mine eyes shall its glory behold

In that white city pearly white city

I have a mansion a harp and a crown

Now I am watching waiting and longing

For the white city John saw coming down

No sin is allowed in that city

And nothing defiling or mean

No pain and no sickness can enter

No crepe on the doorknob is seen

Earth's sorrows and cares are forgotten

No tempter is there to annoy

No parting words ever are spoken

There's nothing to hurt or destroy

No heartaches are known in that city

No tears ever moisten the eyes

There's no disappointment in Heaven

No envy and strife in the sky

The saints are all sanctified wholly

They live in sweet harmony there

My heart is now set on that city

And some day its blessings I'll share

My loved ones are gathering yonder

My friends too are passing away

And soon I shall join their bright number

And dwell in eternity's day

They're safe now in glory with Jesus

Their trials and battles are past

They overcame sin and the tempter

They've reached that fair city at last
