71. When I Stand on 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 stand on the streets of gold.

Refrain:
When I stand on the streets of gold,
When I stand on the streets of gold,
Love-crowned, I’ll abide in his presence,
When I stand 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 stand on the streets of gold. [Refrain]

3 Earth’s sorrows will all be forgotten,
And I shall be safe in his fold,
Shut in with my Lord and my loved ones,
When I stand on the streets of gold. [Refrain]
