Looking For A City

LOOKING FOR A CITYKey: Bb 4/4
 Words: W Oliver Cooper Music: Marvin P Dalton (1943)
 (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.
