207 - Jerusalém Divina

Divine Jerusalem
Vision of blissful peace
Of Christ, holy bride
Radiant with splendor
You have crystal clear fountains
Alive are your altars
And the angels, by the thousands
Surround you

Abode of the blessed King
You have twelve gates
That are always crossed
By immortal beings
Your books have written
The names of the redeemed
In you, the celestial hymns
Will be heard

Your holy inhabitants
Sing a glorious song
To the holy God
Who has forgiven them
They sing a thousand praises
To Christ, like a lamb
Who meekly, on a cross
Was sacrificed for them!

Let us love the same Christ
Let us fear the same God
We who walk by faith
Carrying His cross
And ready we will enjoy
Your past thresholds
A thousand joys prepared
In glory, with Jesus!
