Though for now we walk down roads of sorrow Underneath this heavy weight of grief Soon there'll be a bright and glorious morning Where we'll find our joy at last complete Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls All the grateful drink from the crystal stream Peace forevermore, troubles disappear And the only thing that's missing there is tears Though for now we feel the ache of parting Burdened with the pain of sad goodbyes Yet we cling to that great hope He's promised Of a glad reunion in the sky Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls All the grateful drink from the crystal stream Peace forevermore, troubles disappear And the only thing that's missing there is tears ♪ If you listen close you'll almost hear it Oh the melody that's rising sweet Of the faithful saints gone on before us Gathered safely round our Savior's feet Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls All the grateful drink from the crystal stream Peace forevermore, troubles disappear And the only thing that's missing there is tears Every heart made whole Every eye is clear And the only thing that's missing there is tears
