The new Jerusalem
John Stevens • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 16:24
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.

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.
