There is a new Jerusalem,
Up yonder in the sky,
Where we shall dwell 'mid Heav'nly hosts,
Thro' all eternity;
Its hills are bright as burnished gold,
Its rivers silver flow,
Its fields and valleys give sweet rest,
To weary ones below,
To weary ones below.
O look aloft when sorrow comes,
To chill earth's beauteous flower,
To where the Heav'nly Father rules,
With love his only power.
Our loved ones cannot come to us,
But we can go to them,
And dwell forever with the blest,
In sweet Jerusalem,
And dwell forever with the blest,
In sweet Jerusalem.
