Tune: Darwalls 148th

('Join all the glorious names'

= 'Ye holy angels bright')

Revelation 22 v.1-5

********

John, pure river of life

Water of life, no strife

Did see, clear as crystal

Proceeding, flowing all

From throne of God, and the Lamb too

Supply enough to all renew

 

New Jerusalem's street

The sight their did him greet

And upon river's sides

The Lord there so provides

The tree of life, with fruit twelve kinds

Each month it is what one there finds

 

The leaves of the tree, they

For healing in their day

Healing of the nations

For folk of all stations

There no more curse, but God's throne there

And of the Lamb, His people share

 

His servants shall Him serve

And He shall them preserve

And they shall see His face

Eternal, by His grace

His name shall on their foreheads be

A symbol of ownership, see

 

And there be no night there

No lamp, nor no sun fair

For the Lord God He gives

Them light and each one lives

In His light, and they shall reign e'er

No end, as they God's presence share
