I can almost see that city standing there beyond that hill
The city made for living in the Father's will
I cannot see a temple for it is not made of stone
No, the temple is the glory of the Son of God alone
There is no need for moon and sun, his light is so much more
It's shining from his countenance right through that open door
And as I pressed more steady onward, then I saw the King
Standing in the holy city, and I then began to hear the angels sing
They're singin' (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
Hear the angels sing (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
Hear the angels sing (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
If you open up your heart, you'll hear the angels sing
Then I saw the river of the water of life,
Flowin' from the mighty throne
The words that came from the river's voice, were the words of God alone
Come to me all you that thirst and you shall be satisfied
Come to me if you are weary, rest here by my side
The last thing that I saw before that scene went out of sight
Were the multitudes of chosen standing in the holy light
The praises of their voices could be heard forevermore
As the gazed upon the Savior standing by the mighty throne
They're singin' (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
Hear the angels sing (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
Hear the angels sing (la-la-la-la-la--la-la-la--la-la-la-la-la)
If you open up your heart, you'll hear the angels sing
