Tune: Repton

('Dear Lord and Father of mankind')

Revelation 22 v.1-5

*********

In new Jerusalem, John saw

He could not ask for more

A pure river, water of life

There be God's peace, without a strife

Clear as crystal, and rife

Clear as crystal, and rife

 

It proceeded out of the throne

Of God, so was it known

And also it be the Lamb's throne

He Jesus, the Lamb of God be

Saviour of the world He

Saviour of the world He

 

In midst of street, and river's sides

Teh tree of life resides

It bears twelve manner of fruits, see

And yields it fruit each month, so be

A whole variety

A whole variety

 

Leaves of the tree were for healing

Of the nations, they bring

Comfort, and there be curse no more

But throne of God and the Lamb sure

Do the city adorn

Do the city adorn

 

And God's servants they shall Him serve

His grace them does preserve

And they shall see His face, His name

shall be in their foreheads, the same

Abide there, no guilt, blame

Abide there, no guilt, blame

 

And there shall be no night there, they

Live in perpetual day

No need of lamp or of candle

Nor sun, the Lord God their light all

They reign for e'er, no fall

They reign for e'er, no fall

              Now a hymn says:
              'Should I be cast where Thou are not
              That were indeed a dreadful lot' (Madame Guyon)

              With KP I changed the second line to:
              'That would be a utopian lot!' lol.
