We Will Walk Thru the Streets of the City

We now walk thru the val­ley and sha­dow

Thru a world full of la­bor and strife;

But some day we shall walk with our Sav­ior

Robed in ev­er­last­ing life.

We will walk thru the streets of the ci­ty

Where our loved ones have gone on be­fore;

We will go thru the gates of the ci­ty

Enter to go out no more.

There’ll be no more pain

sin

sick­ness nor sor­row

In that city where nights nev­er come;

Where the an­gel of death nev­er en­ters

In our blest eter­nal home.

From the North

East and West they shall en­ter;

From the South

too

a host shall arise;

Then will child­ren of Ab­ra­ham ga­ther

To hold a re­un­ion in the skies.

Then we’ll wade thru God’s eter­nal glo­ry

Thru the fields of His un­end­ing love;

Viewing scenes ev­er ris­ing be­fore us

Eternity alone can prove

Let us then be kind

true and faith­ful

To our Sav­ior

Re­deem­er and king;

Doing all He gives us to do glad­ly

And His prais­es ev­er sing.
