Revelation 21 v.1-7
Repeat last line of each verse.
********
John did see earth and heaven new
There rejoicings not a few
For first heaven and first earth were
Passed away, it did concur
With God\'s purpose, and no more sea
No more separation, see (x2)
Viewed there be the holy city
Full of light, from sin set free
New Jerusalem, from heav\'n came
It imprinted with God\'s name
Prepared as bride for her husband
Let all earth sing, heavens rend (x2)
Great voice out of heaven sounded
Echoes of it redounded
Behold, tabernacle of God
Is with men, and as He trod
On this earth in His Son Jesus
Now shall dwell and walk with us (x2)
God Himself be with His people
He be their God to them all
He shall wipe all tear from their eyes
He the One who never dies
Here no more death, sorrow, crying
Nor pain, comfort He does bring (x2)
The Lord God who sat on His throne
Says, I shall act, I alone
I make all things new, no behold
Let it be written and told
For these words be true and faithful
He shall bless who hear His call (x2)
He says, It is done, I am, be
Alpha and Omega see
The beginning and the end sure
And I will give evermore
To the thirsty of the fountain
Of water of life again (x2)
Come, freely drink, to quench your thirst
Living fountains here outburst
They that overcome inherit
All things, not lose out one whit
I will be their God, they my sons
And my daughters, every one (x2)
