1. When my earthly day is waning
and my mortal robes I fold,
With the dawning of eternity begun,
I shall enter gates of pearl
to walk on streets of shining gold,
In that city where they need no sun.

Refrain
In that city where they need no sun,
When at last my earthly race is run,
I shall see my Savior’s face,
Revel in His love and grace
In that city where they need no sun.

2. O’er the fields of endless glory
I shall wander with delight,
For with sadness and with pain I shall be done.
No more sorrow, no more sickness
in that home so pure and bright,
In that city where they need no sun! [Refrain]

3. With the countless blood-washed millions
I shall sing beyond the skies
Praise to God and to the Lamb for sinners slain.
As the sound of many waters
this triumphant song shall rise
And resound throughout God’s vast domain. [Refrain]
