Jerusalem Joys

orchidee



Tune: Wiltshire

('Through all the changing scenes of life')

Revelation 22 v.1-5

********

John, who in his vision he saw

New Jerusalem sure

In it there be a river pure

Water of life, health-cure

 

Clear as crystal, it did proceed

Out of the throne indeed

Throne of God and of the Lamb, there

It flowed for all to share

 

In middle of the street, and too

On sides of river, view

The tree of life, which there did bear

Twelve manner of fruits fair

 

Its fruit it every month did yield

And its leaves no concealed

But were for healing of nations

Reaching to all stations

 

And there shall be no more curse, throne

Of God and Lamb alone

Shall be in it, and His servants

Shall serve, know His presence

 

They shall see his face, and His name

On their foreheads, the same

Lord God who reigns there, and no night

Be, but perpetual light

 

No candle, lamp, or light of sun

The Lord God lights each one

Who dwells there, they shall reign for e'er

With separation ne'er
