LyicsLo! what a glorious sight appears
To our admiring eyes!
The former seas have pass'd away,
The former earth and skies.
From heav'n the New Jerus'lem comes,
All worthy of its Lord;
See all things now at last renew'd,
And Paradise restor'd.
Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing;
Mortals, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King!
The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode;
He dwells with men; his people they,
And he his people's God.
His gracious hand shall wipe the tears
From ev'ry weeping eye;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself shall die.
O may we stand before the Lamb,
When earth and seas are fled,
And hear the Judge pronounce our name,
With blessings on our head!
