1. New Jerusalem my home, ‘tis the City of my Lord,
Glorious as a bride adorned; whom the saints Belaud,
See her beauty and her light, precious as a jasper Clear,
Coming from the presence of the Father.
CHORUS
Jerusalem, this is the my happy home,
Home of the Bride of Christ,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Radiant, holy, great and fair;
Jerusalem, the City of my God,
When shall I be up there?
2. New Jerusalem is built as a City fitly framed,
By the lives of precious saints, through His blood reclaimed,
By His Word now sanctified, by His Spirit now transformed,
How their lives display their inner glory!
3. New Jerusalem is built on foundations twelve Secure,
Holy apostolic truths, teachings sound and pure,
Those who fight the fight of faith, growing in His Grace and pow’r,
These shall be the walls of that fair City.
4. New Jerusalem doth shine like the sun in all its Might,
Shedding forth on nations saved, rays of knowledge bright;
See the regions in the sky, both New Heaven and New Earth
Bring their glory to the Lamb of Calv’ry.
5. New Jerusalem is great, for the throne of God is There,
And the Lamb is also there, now His throne to Share,
Crowned as Kings and priests to God, will the Saints with Jesus reign,
Joint-heir with the Lord, their heav’nly Bridegroom.
