hi susan, I saw your post and couldn't get it out of my head so, by chance, I checked an old hymn book that I have that was copyrighted back in 1954 and this was what I found. I hope this is the right song that you where looking for.
Heaven Now Is In View
Verse: 1
As I travel with Jesus, (on the bright way),
ever trusting his promise, (happy each day),
in his love I'm rejoicing, (praising his name),
as I sing this glad song,
for he tells me of heaven, (home of the blest),
that eternal bright city,(city of rest),
where the river of life, flows so gently along.
Chorus:
Heaven now is in view, heaven now is in view,
I'm a child of the king, and a millionaire too,
clouds have rifted above, and the light has come through,
praise the wonderful dove, heaven now is in view.
Verse: 2
You may call me old-fashioned, (just as you please),
when I mention the Savior, (down on my knees),
but I'll ever keep walking, (walking each day),
in the light of his love,
you may lay up your treasures, (silver and gold),
where the rust is decaying, (soon they will mold),
but I'd rather lay mine, in that city above.
Verse: 3
John beheld that bright city, (so we are told),
with it's jasper walls gleaming, (streets of pure gold),
yes he saw it descending, (coming so near),
what a wonderful sight,
and he told of the splendor, (all of it's own),
of the beautiful rainbow, (over the throne),
that forever will shine, in that city of light.
