Tune: Monks Gate

('He who would valiant be')

Revelation 21 v.1-4

********

A new heaven and new earth

God shall bring to birth

John saw holy city

All new, bright it be

New Jerusalem, see

Descends from heaven free

As bride for her husband

There joys without end

 

God's people made citizens

Of heaven, He sends

His Son for our salvation

To Earth's each nation

This be our hope to come

Our everlasting home

With God for evermore

The eternal shore

 

And God's tabernacle be

His dwelling place, see

He with them shall e'er stay

Through perpetual day

And He shall with them be

From thence e'erlastingly

He shall be our God, we

E'er His people be

 

Old things, they shall pass away

All gone, we shall say

For God shall wipe away

All tears in that day

And there shall be no more

Death nor sorrow, 'tis sure

Nor crying, no more pain

Only good remain

          You do this well and that format strengthens w a structure that commands an ordered read that accents moments

          The God thing makes me shrug as I question giving credit for a goof and balanced result of life as so indicated but that free will explanation just doesn’t cover what I think should be the accountability a Supreme Being must assume and feel calamity should be answered for and not just conveniently ignored and dealt with by rote and weak unsatisfying phrase It’s like a stent loving a child but enables
