When I've run the race before me
- When I've run the race before me
And have fought to victory,
I'll be raptured to the glory of the Lord;
When I've kept the faith at any cost,
The Holy City then
I'll receive as my reward. - I'll be raptured into glory,
In the Holy City dwell—
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem;
With the overcomers shouting,
How our praises then will swell,
In the New Jerusalem.
- As a pilgrim here I wander;
While afflicted, I rejoice,
For a better land I soon expect to see;
Though all others seek for earthly gain,
The Holy City e'er
Will my aspiration be. - Though my feet are often wearied
On the rough and rugged path,
Just by thinking of that city, I'm restored;
Though my eyes be filled with tears,
My heart will evermore be fixed
On that City, my reward. - With strong purpose I now wrestle,
And I run toward the goal;
I pursue the prize, God's highest to obtain;
Pressing forward toward the mark,
I run forgetting all behind,
Thus the Holy City gain. - By His love and through His grace I'll
In the Holy City live—
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem;
All saints leaping, singing, shouting,
To the Lord their praises give,
In the New Jerusalem.
