The New Jerusalem
1. God's angel carried me away,
A great and high mountain me took
He showed to me that great city
From heaven descending to earth.
2. Jerusalem great and holy
God's city with glory too
Her light was like unto a stone
Like jasper stone and crystal clear.
3. It had a wall so great and high
Twelve gates twelve angels and twelve names.
The names of twelve tribes of Israel
The east, the north, the south and west.
4. Twelve foundations had all the walls
Inscribed on them the names of twelve
Apostles of the Lord Jesus
The Lamb of God who saved our souls.
5. Of jasper was the city wall
Of purest gold the city built
So precious like unto clear glass
And decked with many a precious stone
6. The first foundation jasper was
The second of saphire stone
The third a chalcedony stone
The fourth an emerald as well.
7. The fifth of precious sardonyx
The sixth of precious sardius too
The seventh stone was chrysolite
The eighth of precious beryl stone
8. The ninth was precious topaz stone
The tenth of chrysoprasus stone.
Th' eleventh precious jacinth stone,
The twelfth of precious amethyst.
9. Twelve gates, twelve pearls, each gate a pearl
The city's street was purest gold.
Such gold just like transparent glass,
God's glory lights the city too.
10. Make this my home my Lord I pray,
My name engraved inside Thy book.
With saints in white and crown of life,
In glorious joy I'll sing Thy praise.
