(Verse)
Here 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)
Looking 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)
In 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
