Verse 1
Yɛka hy'rafo man no ho nsɛm, Saa man a ɛyɛ fɛ no a Wɔtaaa ka mu 'nuonyam ky'rɛ no; Nanso emy tra bɛyɛ dɛn! Yɛka ne sika akwan no, N'afasu` a ɛyɛ nhene pa, Emu anigyede wɔnka, Nanso emy tra bɛyɛ dɛn!
Verse 2
Yɛka bɔne ne aw'rɛhow, Dadwen ne sɔhwɛ horow a Entumi mma hɔ no ho nsɛm Nanso emu tra bɛyɛ dɛn! Yɛka ne dɔ som ne 'nuonyam Ntade a 'hotefo no hyɛ, S'ro mmakan 'safo no ho nsɛm, Nanso emu tra bɛyɛ dɛn!
Verse 3
B're` a nkwa asɛm n nyan yɛn no, Yɛn aw'rɛhow ba awiei na Yehu ku`ro no sɛ ɛresian Sɛ ayef'ro ma ne Wura. Ku`ro no yɛ kronn na emu tew, 'W'rɛhow biara ntumi nhyɛn hɔ; Ahohia anaa bɔne ne Mmusu sunsuma bi nni hɔ.
Verse 4
Fi haw horow mu boa wo ho, Na s'ro na me honhom hwehwɛ; Ɛrenkyɛ pii me nso mehu Sɛnea emu tra no te fa. Yɛbɛnante mfuw fɛfɛ so, Ɔs'ro 'nuonyam ne pɛyɛ mu, Yɛne 'hotefo ne 'bɔfo, Ne Yesu Ankasa bɛtra.
English Lyrics
Verse 1
We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed-- But what must it be to be there! We speaks of its pathway of gold-- Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasure untold-- But what must it be to be there!
Verse 2
We speaks of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within-- But what must it be to be there! We speak of its service of love, Of the robes which the glorified wear, Of the church of the First born above But what it be to be there!
Verse 3
Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life giving word, We see the new city descend, Adored as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean, No sorros can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil, is there.
Verse 4
Do thou, midst temptation and woe, For heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o'er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus Himself will be there.
