THE NEW JERUSALEM.

By T. J. Evans, M. D.

I SAW the New Jerusalem Come down from heaven above Its golden streets were glorious With God's eternal love. Rev. 21:2
Her bridal robe is clean and white, Just like the crystal snow; Its fabric is the righteousness Of saints made here below. Rev. 19:8.
He'll wipe away the mournful tears From every weeping eye; For death and hell have passed away There'll never be a sigh, Rev. 21:3, 4.
For God Himself will be their God, He'll take away all pain, With joy and peace and happiness They'll live with Him and reign.
His Throne's within her pearly Gates His Tabernacle, too, And with His chosen people there He'll dwell the ages through. Rev. 22:1-5.
The Tree of Life is in the street, Beside the crystal stream; Its fruit was ripe and beautiful, Its healing leaves were seen. Rev. 22:2.
For Life's pure water freely flows For every passer-by: For not a soul is in this place Who loves or makes a lie. Rev. 22:17, 15.
The City has foundations twelve, Just like transparent gold, And mansions fair already there For those within His fold. Rev. 21:12; John 14:2.
Her walls are made of precious stone, Like jasper, crystal clear; The angels at her pearly gates Will watch with godly fear. Rev. 21:11, 12, 21.
No one can enter into her With Satan's mark in hand, Or written bold upon his brow; For that's the dragon's brand. Rev. 13:4-6, 17.
Come, let us never make a lie Or abomination work, But live for Christ from day to day, And ne'er from duty shirk.
And then we'll be among the blessed Yes, one with Him in love And with the angel's happy choir We'll sing to Him above. Rev. 15:1-3. T. J. EVANS, M. D.
