To the Wonderful City of Gold

Lyricist: L. McHan, 1898
Composer: S. J. Perry

There’s a path­way made straight

Leading up to the gate

Of the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold;

Tho’ dark ag­es have rolled

Yet it leads as of old

To the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold.

Cheer

bro­ther

cheer!

Drive away doubt and fears

We are tra­v’ling the path­way of old;

Oh! ’tis brigh­ter to­day

As we press on the way

To the won­der­ful city of gold.

Countless mill­ions have gone

O’er this path­way along

To the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold;

Nevermore they shall roam

For they’re now safe at home

In the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold.

Many loved ones of ours

Rest ’neath Ed­en’s ho­ly bow­ers

In the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold;

Now they join with the throng

As they sing re­demp­tion’s song

In the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold.

Every step I’ll re­new

As I on­ward pur­sue

To the won­der­ful ci­ty of gold;

At the gate I’ll ex­claim

Saved by grace thro’ Je­sus’ name

As I en­ter the ci­ty of gold.
