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

Refrain

We will walk thro’ the streets of the ci­ty,
With the friends we have loved by our side,
We shall sit by the banks of the ri­ver,
In that land we shall ev­er abide.

Blessèd city, home of an­gels,
With its streets all paved with gold,
Pearly gates and liv­ing foun­tains,
Where the plea­sures ne’er grow old.

Refrain

Jesus’ glo­ry ev­er shin­ing,
Trees of life in gran­deur stand,
Clouds of love with sil­ver lin­ing,
In that hap­py Ed­en land.

Refrain

Friends and kin­dred who have loved us,
Hearts that oft­en beat as one,
There shall join the glo­ri­ous num­ber,
And shall sing around the throne.
