Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #5 (1929) First Line: On the top of Mount Zion is a city Refrain First Line: Oh, that city on Mount Zion Lyrics: 1 On the top of Mt. 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.
Refrain:
Oh, that city on Mt. Zion,
Tho’ a pilgrim, yet I love thee still;
I’ll not leave thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 Death will never molest me in that city,
Never leave me lying cold and chill;
But I’ll enter to live up there forever
When I reach that city on the hill. [Refrain]
4 So I’ll stay here until my Savior calls me,
Trying daily to perform His will;
Then He’ll say unto me, “Well done” up yonder
When I reach that city in the hill. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [On the top of Mount Zion is a city]
When I Reach that City
