Bathed In Unfallen Sunlight,
Itself A Sunborn Gem,
Fair Gleams The Glorious City,
The New Jerusalem!
City Fairest, Splendour Rarest,
Let Me Gaze On Thee!
O City Fairest, Splendour Rarest,
Home For All The Free!
Calm In Her Queenly Glory,
She Sits All Joy And Light:
Pure In Her Bridal Beauty,
Her Raiment Festal White!
Home Of Gladness, Free From Sadness,
Let Me Dwell In Thee!
O Home Of Gladness, Free From Sadness,
Mine Eternally!
Shading Her Golden Pavement,
The Tree Of Life Is Seen,
Its Fruit-Rich Branches Waving,
Celestial Evergreen.
Tree Of Wonder, Let Me Under
Thee Forever Rest!
O Tree Of Wonder, Let Me Under
Thy Rich Boughs Be Blest!
Rich Are The Priceless Jewels
That Deck Her Mighty Wall,
And From The Throne Of God-Head
A Wondrous Radiance Falls.
City Fairest, Splendour Rarest,
Let Me Gaze On Thee!
O City Fairest, Splendour Rarest,
Home For All The Free!
