Lyrics

(Orchestra Introduction for 8 measures)

Blessed are those
who wash their robes
that they may have the right
to the tree of life.
And may go through the gates into the city,
the holy and glorious city,
the New Jerusalem.

The New Jerusalem
coming down out
of heaven from God,
The wife of the Lamb.
The Church without stain or wrinkle,
those whose names are written
in the Lamb's book of life.

They will live in the city.
There will be no more night,
for the Lord will give them light.
They will reign for ever and ever.
They will live in the city,
city of pure gold,
and precious stones.
And the river of the water of life
as clear as crystal.
And the river of the water of life
as clear as crystal.

(Orchestra Ending)
