THE NEW JERUSALEM.

JERUSALEM! fair city, Land of my hopes and dreams! How near my longing spirit Thy golden gateway seems; How near thy walls and towers Rise on my ravished sight, Undimmed by cloud or shadow, Bathed in eternal light.
O city of my longing, Thy streets resound with song, And not one voice grows weary In all that countless throng, And every robe is stainless, And every heart is pure; Forever and forever Their pleasures shall endure.
O Jesus, brighter, fairer Than all who dwell therein, O Jesus, purer, sweeter Than all thou diedst to win; When shall I see thy glory? When shall I dwell with thee In that fair, wondrous city That now by faith I see?
O golden, golden city That never grows less fair! O blessed, beauteous angels, That always worship there! O home of saints and Saviour! O land of praise and psalm! When shall I join thy angels With crown, and robe, and palm? —Sel.
