    LYRICS:
    Here among the shadows in a lonely land,
    We're a band of pilgrims on the move
    Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand,
    Looking for a city built above.
    Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-bye,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
    In this land of dangers going here and there
    Trusting in the blessed Saviors love;
    Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care,
    Looking for a city built above.
    Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-bye,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew

    Now why on earth do Churches not have this kind of gospel?? I used to play the piano/organ at a church in Southeastern Michigan and this was one of the hymns i suggested for a sunday morning meet/greet and ya should have seen how happy and lively the congregation became as the song progressed. This like so many other wonderful gospel songs seem to have been buried in the back of churches along with singing and harmonizing with the piano/organ/bass/drums. We have sadly stepped away from the great time testes gospel songs and have gone to a digitized CD music style that still chews me up inside. I love and miss this kind of fellowship more and more each day.

    Our daughter was terminally ill - and she knew it. In the days leading up to her home-going she had us play this song repeatedly, all day long. This memory makes me tear up, still, but it is a sacred one.

    Here among the shadows
    (Living) in a lonely land (with strangers)
    We're a band of pilgrims on the move
    (Through dangers) burdened down with sorrows
    (And we are) Shunned on every hand
    (But we are) looking for a city built above
    Chorus:
    (Oh yes, we're looking here and there) Looking for a city (looking for a city)
    (Yonder where we'll never die) Where we'll never die (never die, no never)
    (And up there there with all the saints) There the sainted millions (yes with all the millions)
    (We will never say goodbye) Never say goodbye (say goodbye, no never)
    (Yes and when we gather there) Where we'll meet our Savior (we'll meet Christ our Savior)
    (Glory and we know we'll meet) And our loved ones, too (friends and all our loved ones)
    (Now we pray thee quickly come) Come oh Holy Spirit (Sprit, come oh Spirit)
    (Come oh, come on thee we call) All our hopes renew (all our hopes renew)
    In this land of dangers
    (We are) going here and there
    (We're simply) trusting in the blessed Savior's love (with mercy)
    Though we may be stangers
    (Living) in this world of care
    (We're always) looking for a city built above
    Repeat Chorus (x2)

      I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming *DOWN* out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is *NOW* among the people, and he will dwell with them. They *WILL BE* his people, and God himself *WILL BE* with them and be their God.
      (Revelation 21:2-3)
