One day there’ll be new earth
and Heaven, for the first will
soon pass away.
And the Holy City, from Heaven
will appear in bridal array.
Then with men God will make his
dwelling; they will be his
people indeed.
God himself will be with them
always and their God will ever
be.
God will wipe away every
teardrop; there’ll be no more
crying or pain.
Death and mourning will have no
place there; old things will no
longer remain.
From his throne God utters this
promise: “I am making
everything new!”
Now is written all that’s been
spoken, for these words are
trusted and true.
God the Lord is Alpha,
Omega, the Beginning and the
End.
From the spring of living
water, a free drink he’ll give
to all men.
He who overcomes will inherit
all the blessings found in
God’s Word.
He will be God’s son for all
ages; God will be his God and
his Lord.
See the Holy City,
Jerusalem, out of Heav’n from
God coming down,
Brilliant as a jewel, clear as
crystal, with God’s glory
shining around.
There’s no need for sunshine or
moonlight, for God’s glory
gives light to all,
And the Lamb of God is its
temple and a lamp for all in
its walls.
Nations all will walk by its
lamplight; kings will bring
their splendor therein.
Never will the gates shut and
locked be, for no night will
ever descend.
Nothing that’s impure will e’er
enter—no immoral, dishonest
men.
Only those whose names have
been written in the book of
life may come in.
