1 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.
Chorus:
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.
2 Here our happy hearts already
Taste by faith the bliss of heaven,
To our hungry souls the manna
From above is freely given. [Chorus]
3 Then we'll gladly wait a little,
Gladly still our burdens bear;
Soon we'll hear our Savior's "Welcome;"
Soon a crown of glory wear. [Chorus]
