Tune: Regent Square
('Light's abode, celestial Salem')
Revelation 21 v.2-7
***********
New Jerusalem descending
Holy city, praises ring
Coming down from God from above
From the heaven of His love
Prepared as a bride for husband
He shall her ever defend
From heaven a great voice saying
Great and marvellous this thing
God's tabernacle is with men
Let praises resound again
For His dwelling shall with us be
His people, He our God, see
And God shall wipe away all tears
From our eyes, and gone our fears
There shall be no more death, sorrow
No more crying, pain we know
For these former things shall be passed
Away, not for ever last
God sat on His throne, does say too
Behold, all things I make new
These His words, they true and faithful
He shall keep promises all
All done, He Alpha, Omega
Beginning and ending sure
He will give to those there thirsty
Of fount of water freely
Fount of water of life it be
They shall live eternally
He our God, we His daughters, sons
Inheritors we, each one
