Eternal Elation

Tune: Winchester New

(\'On Jordan\'s bank the Baptist\'s cry\')

Revelation 22 v.1-5

***********

In new Jerusalem there be

Pure river, water of life, see

Clear as crystal, proceeds from throne

Of God and of the Lamb (Christ) there known

 

In middle of street of city

And either side of river be

The tree of life, does bear twelve fruits

Produces as each month it suits

 

Leaves of tree were for the healing

Of the nations, comfort each thing

And there shall be no more curse then

God and the Lamb\'s throne is therein

 

His servants, they shall serve Him there

Shall see His face, in great joys share

His name shall be on their foreheads

No fears, not condemnations, dreads

 

And there shall be no night, dark there

No need of candle, sun, to share

For the Lord God He gives them light

They shall reign for e\'er in His sight

 

Shine on us Lord, to us appear

As your return draws ever near

Good Spirit, Christ dwells in our hearts

Fits us for heaven in all parts

 

\'Til day eternal, light does dawn

Shall be the everlasting morn

Gone sin, death, fear, all that offends

With Christ, whose kingdom never ends
