In the chorus this song says "walls are made of jasper and the streets are pure gold. It also says something about a rose. It has been about 17 years since we have had this song in our song book.

Hi Kimberley,
I have combed through dozens of hymns searching for the combined words you posted.
What wonderful hymns! A few of them are already in our archives.
Needless to say, I am inspired and looking forward to the rewards of Heaven
but discouraged I can't identify your father-in-law's favorite song
In your post, what song book are you referring to?
Can you give us anymore clues?
Nancy

I am not sure if this is the song you are referencing, but I recall a song from the late 60's/early 70's and here are some of the lyrics

"I had a dream/ Last night/ About a city/ So bright/ The walls were made of jasper/ And the streets were paved with gold

A river/ Flowed soft and sweet/ Angels kneeled/ At God's feet/ I tell you/ Heaven is a beautiful place/ I know/ I know

Revelations has told/ About a city of pure gold/ We'll be/ Free from sin/ When the saints go/ Marching in

To the three gates/ In the north . . . " and so, on . .
