The New Jerusalem

I’ll see the new Je­ru­sa­lem when Christ to earth does come.

I’ll see Him then

will hear His voice

all Christ­ians will re­joice.

Of sun and moon there is no sign

God’s light o’er all will shine.

And then

when He has come with might

it nev­er will be night.

A stream of wa­ter

crys­tal clear

from His throne will ap­pear.

An end to strug­gle and all strife

that wa­ter brings new life.

The tree of life brings forth its fruits

on ev­er grow­ing shoots.

With praise and mu­sic in the air

no thirst or hun­ger there.

And all who served Him

with Him reign

now free from sin and stain.

How fa­thom­less

dear Lord

the love

come to us from ab­ove.

That caught in bond­age

fraught with strife

You bring eter­nal life!

One day

on Your eter­nal shore

we’ll praise You ev­er­more.
