Celestial City - New Jerusalem

Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

(\'All creatures of our God and King\')

Revelation 21 v.4 and v.21-27

********

The new Jerusalem, city

Each of twelve gates a pearl it be

O praise Him, Alleluia!

The street of city is pure gold

As transparent glass it shines bold

O praise Him O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

In that city no Temple be

The Lord and Lamb that Temple, see

O praise Him, Alleluia!

The Lord God Almighty is He

And Jesus Christ is the Lamb, see

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

The city had no need of sun

Neither of moon, not even one

O praise Him, Alleluia!

They shine not there, for God\'s glory

Does lighten it resplendently

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

The Lamb, Jesus, is city\'s light

He does illuminate our sight

O praise Him, Alleluia!

The saved nations shall walk therein

But nothing there of evil, sin

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia!

 

The gates shall not be shut at all

For there the night does never fall

O praise Him, Alleluia!

Nothing of darkness, lies, or sin

Shall ever enter it within

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They who written in the Lamb\'s book

Of life, they have not Him forsook

O praise Him, Alleluia!

They enter in, no more death, pain

Sorrow, crying, ne\'er named again

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They shall bring the glory, honour

Of the nations, and them confer

O praise Him, Alleluia!

In that city of endless days

God with His people there always

O praise Him, O praise Him

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
