IN THE NEW JERUSALEM.

By Edwin C. Stiles

The voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her; nor the voice of crying. Isa. lxv, 19.
Soon shall cease the voice of sorrow, In the New Jerusalem! On that bright and glorious morrow, In the New Jerusalem! There the saints will cease from sighing— There is hushed the voice of crying, And there will be no more dying, In the New Jerusalem!
Sin and death can enter never, In the New Jerusalem! But the saints will live forever, In the New Jerusalem! There beside Life's crystal river, Praise shall rise to God the giver, Of the Lamb that doth deliver, In the New Jerusalem!
With eternal life before us, In the New Jerusalem! Loud will swell the heavenly chorus, In the New Jerusalem! Martyred hosts of every nation, Will come up through tribulation, And obtain complete salvation, In the New Jerusalem!
O, with them to tell our story, In the New Jerusalem! And behold the matchless glory In the New Jerusalem! And the day is nearing, surely, When the saints who're living purely, All will dwell with Christ securely, In the New Jerusalem!
EDWIN C. STILES. Portland, Me., Jan. 24th, 1859.
