The Pearly White City Lyrics & Chords
By Arthur F. Ingler
(D)There’s a holy and (A)beautiful (D)city Whose (A)Builder and Ruler is (D)God; John saw it des(A)cending from (D)Heaven, When (A)Patmos, in exile, he (D)trod; Its (A)high, massive wall is of (D)jasper, The (A)city itself is pure (D)gold; And (G)when my frail tent here is (D)folded, Mine (A)eyes shall its glory be(D)hold. Chords In that bright (G)city, pearly white (D)city, I have a mansion, a (E)harp, and a (A)crown; (D)Now I am watching, (G)waiting, and (D)longing, For the white city (Bm)that’s (A)soon coming (D)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.
