1. Only a pilgrim here and a stranger,
Seeking a city builded on high,
Sing me the songs of Christ and His glory,
These, only these my heart satisfy.
Chorus:
Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom,
(Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom of heaven,)
Telling of Christ and His wonderful love;
(Telling of Christ and His wonderful, wonderful love;)
Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom,
(Beautiful, beautiful songs of the Kingdom of heaven,)
Lifting our souls to glories above.
2. Sing of His blood which purchase our pardon,
Sing of His mercy, boundless and free;
Sing of His love which flows as a river,
Sing of His grace which saves even me.
3. Sing of that wondrous city of mansions,
Jesus Himself its glory and light;
Sing of the rest God’s people awaiting,
Walking with Him in garments of white.
4. Keep your harp tuned, oh! child of the Kingdom,
Washed and redeemed, thro’ Jesus an heir;
Soon with our life work done we shall join them,
In the glad glory-song over there.
