"CITY OF GOLD

VERSE: 1

THERE'S A CITY THAT LOOKS-- OVER THE VALLEY OF DEATH
AND IT'S GLORY HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD,
WHERE THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT--IN THE MIDST OF THE NIGHT
IN THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY OF GOLD

CHORUS:

WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS
WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS
WHERE THE LEAVES NEVER FADE
WHERE THE LEAVES NEVER FADE
AND THE RIGHTEOUS FOREVER WILL SHINE LIKE THE STARS
IN THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY OF GOLD

VERSE: 2

THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN, SICKNESS-SORROW OR DEATH
AND THE SAINTS, THEY WILL NEVER GROW OLD
HOW I LONG FOR THAT CITY, WHERE THERE NEVER COMES A NIGHT

REPEAT CHORUS:

TAG:

IN THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY OF GOLD!!

Just a bit of trivia..... before Shirley married Will Cohron, she was with Buck and Dotty Rambo as the original Gospel Echoes. I have one of their first albums -- "The Gospel Echoes sing the songs of Big Chief Jim Wetherington."
