Singing and Praising Forever

Thro’ the new Je­ru­sa­lem

Lined with fair­est flow­ers

Flows a pure and crys­tal stream

Wat’ring the heav­en­ly bow­ers;

On its banks we hope to stand

Close by the beau­ti­ful riv­er.

Then to join the ran­somed band

Singing and prais­ing for­ev­er.

Close by the beau­ti­ful riv­er

Close by the beau­ti­ful riv­er

There to join the ran­somed band

Singing and prais­ing for­ev­er.

There are saints in robes of white

Who have gone be­fore us

With the an­gels they unite

Swelling the heav­en­ly chor­us.

And with them we hope to stand

Close by the beau­ti­ful riv­er.

Then to join the ran­somed band

Singing and prais­ing for­ev­er.
