On the Streets of Gold

Author: Sarah Annie Wittenmyer Hymnal: The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 #16 (1905) First Line: The burdens of life may be many Refrain First Line: When I stand on the streets of gold Lyrics: 1 The burdens of life may be many, The frowns of the world may be cold; To me it will matter but little, When I stand on the streets of gold. With joy I shall enter that city, The face of my Savior behold; And I shall be changed and be like Him, When I stand on the streets of gold. Refrain: When I stand on the streets of gold, Jesus’ face I shall then behold, And I shall be changed and be like Him, When I stand on the streets of gold. 2 What wonderful visions of beauty, What glorious scenes shall unfold; What bright, dazzling splendors surround me, When I stand on the streets of gold. I’ll see the white throne of His glory, The names of the saints there enrolled, The mansions that Christ is preparing, When I stand on the streets of gold. [Refrain] 3 The trials of earth will have ended, And I shall be safe in His fold; Shut in with my Lord and His angels, When I stand on the streets of gold. For ages on ages I’ll praise Him, And never grow weary nor old; Star-crowned I’ll abide in His presence, When I stand on the streets of gold. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 21:21 Languages: English Tune Title: [The burdens of life may be many]

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "When I walk Up the Streets of Gold" in New Songs of the Old Faith In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
