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

Thanks BC. A place without KP?! lol.
Who knows!! HAHAHA
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.
HAHAHA
