There Is a City Bright

Words: Mary Anne S. Deck
Trinity Hymnal, 1961

Tune: Jean Sibelius, Karelia
arr. by Stephen Pribble, 2001


  1. There is a city bright;
     Closed are its gates to sin;
     Naught that defileth,
     Naught that defileth,
     Can ever enter in.
     
  2. Saviour, I come to thee;
     O Lamb of God, I pray,
     Cleanse me and save me,
     Cleanse me and save me,
     Wash all my sins away.
     
  3. Lord, make me, from this hour,
     Thy loving child to be,
     Kept by thy power,
     Kept by thy power,
     From all that grieveth thee,—
     
  4. Till in the snow-white dress
     Of thy redeemed I stand,
     Faultless and stainless,
     Faultless and stainless,
     Safe in that happy land.
