re among the shadows in a lonely land
We’re a band of pilgrims on the move
Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand
Looking for a city built above
(Chorus)
Loo
king for a city, where we’ll never die
There the sainted millions, never say goodbye
There we’ll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too
Come, oh, Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew
(Verse)
I
n this land of dangers (we are)
going here and there, (We’re simply)
trusting in the blessed Savior’s love; (And mercy),
tho’ we may be strangers, Living in this world of care,
We’re always looking for a city built above
