Dear Ginny, 
Here 'tis.
Very kind regards,
Bill.

"We Shall Walk Through The Streets Of The City"
1.
We shall walk through the streets of the city
Where Our Lord walketh long, long ago
We shall sing by the banks of the river
And we'll pray to God some more.

2.
Guide me over the great Jehovah
Guide me over to the promised land
We shall sing by the banks of the river
And we'll pray to God some more.

3.
We shall walk through the streets of the city
Meeting those we thought were no more
We shall walk by the banks of the river
Seeing those who have gone on before.

4.
Now I'm weak but though art mighty,
Lead me with Thy guiding hand.
Take me Lord oh you great Jehovah,
To the thrill of that promised land.
