[Eb] [F]
[G] [Eb] [C]
We speak the realms of the past,
That country so bright [G] and so fair,
[C] And of its glories confessed,
But [Dm] [Am] what [G] must it mean to [C] be there?
We speak of its service [Dm] of [F] love,
[C] Its warmth mixed with jewels [G] so rare,
[C] Its wonders and pleasures untold,
But [Am] what [G] must it mean to [C] be there?
We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation [G] and care,
From [C] trials without and within,
But [Am] what must [G] it mean to [C] be there?
We speak of its service [F] of love,
[C] Of the robes with the [G] glorified wear,
Of [C] the church of the firstborn above,
But [Em] [Am] what [G] must it mean to [C] be there?
Of mourning, kiss, or returning,
When raised by the life [G]-giving Word,
We [C] see the new city descend,
[Dm] Adored [G] as her bride [C] will her Lord.
The city so holy [F]
and clean,
No [C] sorrow can breathe [G] in the air,
No [C] gloom of affliction or sin,
No shadow of evil is there,
Without mist, temptation and woe,
For heaven my [G] spirit prepared,
[C] And shortly I also shall know,
And feel what it is to be there.
Then all the bright fields we shall own,
[Ab]
In glory celestial and fair,
[Em] With saints and with angels [F] at home,
And Jesus himself will be there.
