Representative Text

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 walk on the streets of gold.

Refrain:
When I walk on the streets of gold,
When I walk on the streets of gold;
How my heart will rejoice in that morning,
When I walk on the streets of gold.

2 With joy I shall enter that city,
The face of my Savior behold,
And I shall be changed and be like Him,
When I walk on the streets of gold. [Refrain]

3 What wonderful visions of beauty,
What glorious scenes shall unfold;
And what dazzling splendors surround me,
When I walk on the streets of gold. [Refrain]

4 For ages and ages I'll praise Him,
And never grow weary or old;
Love-crowned I'll abide in His presence,
When I walk on teh streets of gold. [Refrain]
