[Verse 1]
I saw the holy city
Descending from the sky
So brilliant with the light of God
The city is His bride
[Verse 2]
There is no temple in this town
No sun, no moon, no lamp
For God's own glory is its light
Illuminated by the Lamb
[Chorus]
And God Himself will wipe the tears
From every weeping eye
No death, no pain, no mourning cry
And every tear may dry
[Verse 3]
And now our God will dwell with them
The New Jerusalem
And He Himself will walk with them
The New Jerusalem
[Verse 4]
And so let all of those who thirst
Come now and drink for free
And to the one who overcomes
Come now and you will see
[Verse 5]
Behold the old has passed away
Now everything is new
The Alpha and Omega's words
Are trustworthy and so true
[Chorus]
And God Himself will wipe the tears
From every weeping eye
No death, no pain, no mourning cry
And every tear may dry
[Verse 6]
And now our God will dwell with them
The New Jerusalem
And He Himself will walk with them
The New Jerusalem
[Chorus]
And now our God will dwell with them
The New Jerusalem
And He Himself will walk with them
The New Jerusalem
[Outro]
And He Himself will walk with them
The New Jerusalem
