We Will Walk in the Streets of the City

When we reach the gold­en ci­ty

When we pass the pear­ly gate

Where our friends

who went be­fore us

For our com­ing watch and wait.

We will walk in the streets of the ci­ty

With our loved ones gone be­fore;

We will sit on the banks of the riv­er

We will meet to part no more.

Here our hap­py hearts al­rea­dy

Taste by faith the bliss of Heav’n;

To our hun­gry souls the man­na

From above is free­ly giv’n.

But how great will be our plea­sure

When we

free from sin and pain

On the other side of Jor­dan

See each oth­er there again.

Then we’ll glad­ly wait a lit­tle

Gladly still our bur­dens bear;

Soon we’ll get a crown of glo­ry

Soon we’ll Je­sus’ well done hear.
