A Bela Cidade

I have read about the beautiful city
Built by Christ Jesus
It is walled with shining jasper
And adorned with golden trophies

And in the middle of the square, behold the river
Of vigor and eternal life
But half of the heavenly glory
Has never been told to mortals

Has never been told to mortals
Has never been told to mortals
Half of the heavenly glory
Has never been told to mortals

I have read about the beautiful mansions
That Jesus went to prepare in Heaven
Where faithful believers, forever
Will dwell very happily

No sadness, no pain, no fears
Will enter the paternal mansion
But half of the heavenly glory
Has never been told to mortals

I have read about the shining garments
Of the crowns that the saints will have
When the Father calls them and says
Receive the eternal reward

I have read that the saints in glory
Will walk on streets of gold and crystal
But half of the heavenly glory
Has never been told to mortals
