IN THE NEW JERUSALEM
1. When the toils
of life are over,
And we lay our
armor down,
And we bid farewell
to earth with all its cares,
We shall meet and
greet our loved ones,
And our Christ we
then shall crown
In the new
Jerusalem.
Refrain
There'll be singing,
there'll be shouting,
When the saints
come marching home,
In Jerusalem, in
Jerusalem;
Waving palms with
loud hosannas,
As the King shall
take His throne,
In the new
Jerusalem.
2. Though the way
is sometimes lonely.
He will hold me with His hand,
Through the
testings and the trials I must go ;
But I'll trust and
gladly follow,
for sometime I'll
understand,
In the new
Jerusalem.
3. When the last
good-bye is spoken,
And the tear stains
wiped away,
And our eyes shall
catch a glimpse of glory fair,
Then with bounding
hearts we'll meet Him
Who hath washed our
sins away.
In the new
Jerusalem.
4. When we join the
ransomed army
In the summerland
above,
And the face of our
dear Saviour we behold,
We will sing and
shout forever
and we'll grow in
perfect love,
In the new
Jerusalem.
