Hymn 885 – ON the mountain of Zion beyond the blue sky | C&S English Hymnary

1. ON the mountain of Zion beyond the blue sky Stands a city so wondrous and fair I expect to depart for that land, by and by For I‘m laying my treasure up there. Chorus: I am laying my treasure up there, up there In that beautiful city so fair When its glories unfold I'LL have riches untold For I'm laying my treasure up there. 2. There‘s a mansion awaiting God’s people, I’m told Which the Saviour has gone to prepare There the walls are of jasper, the streets are of gold. Chorus: I am laying my treasure... 3. All the love of my heart, and my soul mind and strength. And the work that with Jesus I share Are but some of the riches I'LL find there at length And the work that with Jesus I share Are but some of the riches I'll find there at length For I’m laying my treasure up there. Chorus: I am laying my treasure... 4. So altho‘ a poor pilgrim on earth I may roam Ever constant in watching and prayer Soon I‘ll hear the glad summons to start for my home For I‘m laying my treasure up there. Chorus: I am laying my treasure up there, up there In that beautiful city so fair When its glories unfold I'LL have riches untold For I'm laying my treasure up there AMEN
