(\'O God our help in ages past\')
Revelation 21 v.1-5
********
John saw new heaven and new earth
He saw them brought to birth
First heaven and earth passed away
Gone were their night and day
John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, did view
From God out of heaven, descending
Perfection does He bring
City is prepared as a bride
In husband does confide
Great voice out of heaven then did say
God dwells with us today
For His home, His tabernacle
Shall e\'er be with us all
He will dwell with us, and we shall
Be His people, here tell
And God Himself shall with us be
Shall be our God, thus see
God shall wipe all tears from our eyes
Now no more any dies
For there shall be no death, sorrow
Crying, pain, none shall know
For those shall be as former things
And life to us God brings
God sat on His throne said, Behold
Let it be seen and told
I make all things new, true, faithful
These words be, hear His call
