Tune: St Helen
(\'Lord of Lords and King eternal\')
Revelation 22 v.1-5
********
Here seen pure river of water
\'Tis water of life for sure
Clear as crystal, it proceeding
Out of the throne, let all sing
The throne of God and of the Lamb
Nothing can its free flow dam
In middle of holy city
And on sides of river be
Tree of life, twelve fruits it bears there
Fruit each month for all to share
Leaves of tree for nation\'s healing
Fullness, wholeness they do bring
There be no more curse, but the throne
Of God there, His reign is known
And throne of the Lamb there too is
His servants serve Him, true bliss
They shall see His face, rejoicing
He Lord over everything
And His name writ on their foreheads
They be in eternal steads* (*dwellings)
And no night there, nor no candle
The Lord God gives them light all
Neither need of light for sun for
They reign with God, Light e\'ermore
So inspire us, our true homeland
It so be, promises grand
Lift us from all earth-bound longing
Lord, may you e\'er be our song
\'Til we come by your good grace to
Ever live and be with you
