The new Jerusalem

Verse 1

With pleasure we behold Immanuel’s offspring come; As sheep are gathered to the fold, And left no more to roam.

Verse 2

The way the Shepherd trod They freely choose to go; Moved by the powerful love of God, They leave this world below.

Verse 3

This watery path they own; Their Saviour’s cross they view; And resting on his blood alone, By faith they journey through.

Verse 4

Among the flock they rest, In pastures fresh and green; With peace and safety ever blest, And pleasures all serene.
