When I Reach That City

(R.E. Winsett - Johnson Oatman)



On the top of Mount Zion is a city

And the earth with its glory it doth fill

And I look upon its beauty in the morning

When I reach that city on the hill.



Oh, that city on Mount Zion

Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still

I'll not leave Thee through the ages

When I reach that city on the hill.



So I'll stay here until my Saviour calls me

Tryin' daily to perform his will

Then he'll say Come to me, well done up yonder

When I reach that city on the hill.



Oh, that city on Mount Zion

Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still

I'll not leave Thee through the ages

When I reach that city on the hill.

On the top of Mount Zion is God's city

And my friends and my loved ones will be there

Where we'll all live forever in thatcity

When I reach that city on the hill.



Oh, that city on Mount Zion

Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still

I'll not leave Thee through the ages

When I reach that city on the hill.



When I reach that city on the hill...
