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!

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre with Alleluias. A lady at church, age 94, said she heard a piece on the radio about the Pearly Gates. I then felt inspired to write this for her.

There's no sea there wither. Aww, can't go the beach! But the sea is said to represent separation - so no more separation there.
You can't beat a good Alleluia! - great stuff O.

Thanks B&A. Ole Fido will be there celestially too. Oh no! He'll never leave!
Indeed our hope is in Heaven, Orchidee, and your poem inspires me to sing along with the heavenly hosts whom proclaim: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia - a new Heaven and Earth He will create!
Love the shout-out to St. Francis of Assisi too in the uplifting video. He is a Catholic saint and the founder of the Franciscan order - Pope ‘Fancis’ chose the name Francis for his pontificate inspired by the tradition that tells us St. Francis received a message from Christ to rebuild his Church: “Francis, repair my house, which is falling into ruin.”
Thanks Gary. St Francis is remembered on October 4th I think.
Yes, Catholics also celebrate St. Francis on October 4th!
Good write Orchi, we will all be there at the end.
Thanks Gold.
