McKee Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: With mansions of fairness, And beauty, and rareness Refrain First Line: Oh, there is a city, a beautiful city Lyrics: 1 With mansions of fairness, And beauty, and rareness, And streets with a pavement of gold; Where no one grows weary, No prospect is dreary, And no one can ever grow old. Refrain: Oh, there is a city, a beautiful city, Whose builder and maker is God; A far-away city, A wonderful city, The beautiful city of God. 2 Its rivers of gladness Will banish all sadness, And sorrow shall vanish away; The moon shall not lighten, The sun shall not brighten, That city by night or by day. [Refrain] 3 But light will be given, All storm clouds be riven, From over that city of God; We’ll view then in wonder, Through all that may sunder, The path that in sorrow we trod. [Refrain] 4 No sorrow or sighing, Nor anguish or dying, Can shadow the bliss of that home; And pilgrims who rest there, Forever are blest there, Nor yearn in their rapture to roam.
