O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
Within whose foursquare walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again.
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry “Christ has died in vain!”
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are servanthood,
And where the sun that shines becomes
God’s grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city rises fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
And bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there.

As with Gladness Men of Old
Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 639 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:5 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your splendor see.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly infant bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek your mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that cradle plain and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way,
and when mortal things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.
5 In that glorious city bright
none shall need created light;
you its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there forever may we sing
alleluias to our King!

has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of
love unknown.

of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love

Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a
friend.
Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall
never end.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,293 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the rock of ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See! The streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, when such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering --
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night, and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which God gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the world's best pleasure,
all its boasted pomp or show:
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Topics: Bread; Church; Exodus; Praise of God; Water Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
and shall take his harvest home;
he himself in that great day
all offense shall take away,
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to your final harvest home;
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin
there, forever purified,
in your presence to abide;
come, with all your angels come,
raise the glorious harvest home.

Then I Saw a New Heaven and Earth
Author: Christopher M. Idle Meter: Irregular Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Then I saw a new heaven and earth,
for the first had passed away;
and the holy city came down from God
like a bride on her wedding day.
And I know how he loves his own,
for I heard his great voice tell
they would be his people, and he their God,
and among them he came to dwell.
2 He will wipe away every tear;
even death shall die at last.
There'll be no more crying or grief or pain
they belong to the world that's past.
And the One on the throne said, "Look!
I am making all things new."
He is A and Z, he is first and last,
and his words are exact and true.
3 So the thirsty can drink their fill
at the fountain giving life.
But the gates are shut on all evil things,
on deceit and decay and strife.
With foundations and walls and towers
like a jewel, the city shines,
with its streets of gold and its gates of pearl,
in a glory where each combines.
4 As they measured its length and breadth
I could see no temple there,
for its only temple is God the Lord
and the Lamb in that city fair.
And it needs neither sun nor moon
in a place which knows no night,
for the city's lamp is the Lamb himself,
and the glory of God its light.
5 And I saw by the sacred throne
flowing water, crystal clear,
and the tree of life with its healing leaves
and its fruit growing all the year.
So the worshipers of the Lamb
bear his name and see his face,
and they reign and serve and forever live
to the praise of his glorious grace.

I want to go to Heaven, that Home so bright and fair;
So beautiful, and—best of all—Dear Jesus will be there!
1 I want to see the city away beyond the sky,
With pearly gates and walls of shining stones so great and high;
Beside the crystal river there is a fruitful tree;
And, oh, I want to see the mansions made for you and me! [Refrain]
2 I never will get hurt there, I’ll never have to cry;
No pain or sickness there in Heav’n, and none will ever die;
There Satan cannot tempt me to even once be bad,
For sin can never enter Heav’n—I’ll be so safe, so glad! [Refrain]
3 I’ll see old Noah, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Paul,
And all the millions since that time who gave to God their all;
The many little children who’ve died before they’re old
Are singing ’round the throne of God, and play on streets of gold! [Refrain]
4 Oh, there I’ll be so happy with friends both old and young;
The lame and blind, now healed and well, praise God in endless song;
The angels too will join us; and dressed in spotless white,
We’ll not get tired of praising God, for there there is no night! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I want to see the city away beyond the sky] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/A_Childs_Song_of_Heaven); Martha Nighswander, Motivating Memorization, 1998 (page 57).
