The City and the Bride

lyricist: S. A. W.
Composer: S. A. W.

The New Jerusalem

the kingdom with God’s throne

Is Christ

the ruling Head of God’s house

the church

God’s home;

The life within the church is the life of God Himself

The life that rules and reigns

and saves from sin and self.

New Jerusalem! The city and the bride!

Builded up

beautified

and wholly sanctified!

The New Jerusalem is in reality

The church with Christ as Head in God’s economy;

The content of the church must be the kingdom life

Expressed through all the saints experiencing Christ.

The New Jerusalem is builded in the Lord

A company in Christ established in the Word;

As fellow citizens

God’s kingdom manifest

In spirit live and walk

and enter Sabbath rest.

The New Jerusalem

the bride who is prepared

Is beautified by Christ

to be His wife

matured;

In nature and in life she must in stature grow

And in the Body live

the Body-life to know.

The New Jerusalem

eternal

builded bride

From self she is delivered from independent pride;

Her righteousness is Christ yet in her daily life

She manifested God

and lived and worked in Christ.

The New Jerusalem

the city and the bride

Remains in God forever

forever to abide;

A city that is holy

in God one entity

And shining forth with Christ unto eternity.
