Lyrics
(With strangers) We're a band of pilgrims on the move;
(Thru dangers) Burdened down with sorrows
(And we're) shunned on every hand;
(But we are) Looking for a city built above.
Looking for a city Yonder where we'll never die
(And up) There the sainted millions
(We will) Never say goodbye;
(Yes and) There we'll meet our Savior
And our loved ones too
(Now we) Pray Come O Holy Spirit
All our hopes renew.
(And earthly) friends no longer speak one word of love;
(But truly) We have found contentment (Jesus) promised us a home
(So we) Are looking for a city built above.
(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.
