1 Soon we 'll see the golden city,
Soon we 'll hear the angels sing,
And the harps attuned by seraphs
Loud will make the heaven ring.

Chorus:
We will walk through the streets of the city,
With the friends who 've gone before,
We shall sit by the banks of the river,
We will eet to part no more.

2 Blessed mansion, home of angels,
With its streets all paved with gold,
Pearly gates and living fountains,
And her pleasures ne'er grow old. [Chorus]

3 Glorious sunlight, ever shining,
Trees of life in grandeur stand,
Clouds of love with silver lining,
In that happy, heavenly land. [Chorus]

4 Friends and kindred who have loved us,
Hearts that often beat as one,
They have joined the glorious number,
Now thy shout around the throne. [Chorus]

5 Soon we 'll cross the rapid river,
Soon we 'll near our heavenly home,
Soon we 'll hear the hearty welcome:
Come, ye blessed children, come. [Chorus]

6 Let us bear the yoke of Jesus,
Fierce and lang will be the war,
But his love will ever keep us
Till the storm of life is o'er. [Chorus]
