<strong>The</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Jerusalem</strong><br />
David Biedenbender<br />
Text adapted by Michael Biedenbender<br />
Adapted from Revelation 21 (NIV)<br />
As a bride dressed for her bridegroom<br />
We long to see the Lord,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Alpha and Omega,<br />
Our shield and great reward.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n from the angel’s trumpet<br />
A call goes forth,<br />
To gather all God’s children<br />
From east, south, west, and north.<br />
<strong>The</strong> heaven’s rent asunder<br />
Reveal the Lamb’s high throne;<br />
His glory blinds the angels<br />
But it warms those called His own.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city of God’s dwelling<br />
Descends to kiss the earth;<br />
Its brilliance none can fathom<br />
And none can count its worth.<br />
Its walls made of pure jasper,<br />
<strong>The</strong> city of pure gold,<br />
And gems form its foundation—<br />
A wonder to behold.<br />
And there within the city<br />
Dwell the children of the Lord,<br />
<strong>The</strong>y taste of God’s own banquet<br />
And feast on heavenly food.<br />
Forever we behold him,<br />
His glory is our light<br />
Our breathless song of praises<br />
Shall be our true delight.<br />
All things He now makes new.<br />
Mark every word.<br />
All tears shall cease. He’s cut death’s cord.<br />
He dwells with us forever more.
