Porter Wagoner - When I Reach That City

On the top of Mount Zion is a city
And the earth with it's glory it doth fill
And I look upon it's beauty in the morning
When I reach that city on the hill.

Oh, that city on Mount Zion
Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still
I'll not leave Thee through the ages
When I reach that city on the hill.

So I'll stay here until my Saviour calls me
Tryin' daily to perform his will
Then he'll say Come to me, well done up yonder
When I reach that city on the hill.

Oh, that city on Mount Zion
Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still I'll not leave Thee through the ages
When I reach that city on the hill.

--- Instrumental ---

On the top of Mount Zion is God's city
And my friends and my loved ones will be there
Where we'll all live forever in thatcity
When I reach that city on the hill.

Oh, that city on Mount Zion
Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still
I'll not leave Thee through the ages
When I reach that city on the hill.

When I reach that city on the hill...
