168. When I Walk Up the Streets of Gold

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 up the streets of gold.

Refrain:
Oh, those beautiful streets of gold,
There my Savior I shall behold;
How my heart will rejoice tomorrow,
When I walk up 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 up the streets of gold. [Refrain]

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

4 I’ll see the white throne of His glory,
The names of the saints there enrolled,
The mansions that Christ is preparing,
When I walk up the streets of gold. [Refrain]

5 Earth’s sorrows will all be forgotten,
And I shall be safe in His fold,
Shut in with my Lord and His angels,
When I walk up the streets of gold. [Refrain]

6 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 up the streets of gold. [Refrain]
