• [Why 21:1] John Saw The Heav’n And Earth Made New

  John saw the Heav’n and earth made new, The first had passed away, The holy city coming down, The new Jerusalem. And God Himself shall dwell with men, And wipe away all tears, There is no sorrow, pain or death, Throughout the coming years. “Behold, I make all things anew,” These faithful words are true, To him who overcometh sin, On earth with God shall rule. In beautiful Jerusalem, God’s glory gives it light, All kings and nations walk in it, “For there shall be no night.”

• [Why 21:1] One Day There’ll Be New Earth And Heaven

  One day there’ll be new earth and Heaven, for the first will soon pass away. And the Holy City, from Heaven will appear in bridal array. Then with men God will make his dwelling; they will be his people indeed. God himself will be with them always and their God will ever be. God will wipe away every teardrop; there’ll be no more crying or pain. Death and mourning will have no place there; old things will no longer remain. From his throne God utters this promise: “I am making everything new!” Now is written all that’s been spoken, for these words are trusted and true. God the Lord is Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the End. From the spring of living water, a free drink he’ll give to all men. He who overcomes will inherit all the blessings found in God’s Word. He will be God’s son for all ages; God will be his God and his Lord. See the Holy City, Jerusalem, out of Heav’n from God coming down, Brilliant as a jewel, clear as crystal, with God’s glory shining around. There’s no need for sunshine or moonlight, for God’s glory gives light to all, And the Lamb of God is its temple and a lamp for all in its walls. Nations all will walk by its lamplight; kings will bring their splendor therein. Never will the gates shut and locked be, for no night will ever descend. Nothing that’s impure will e’er enter—no immoral, dishonest men. Only those whose names have been written in the book of life may come in.

• [Why 21:1] Righteous God, Whose Vengeful Phials

  Righteous God! Whose vengeful phials All our fears and thoughts exceed, Big with woes and fiery trials, Hanging, bursting o’er our head; While Thou visitest the nations, Thy selected people spare; Arm our cautioned souls with patience, Fill our humbled hearts with prayer. If Thy dreadful controversy With all flesh is now begun, In Thy wrath remember mercy, Mercy first and last be shown; Plead Thy cause with sword and fire, Shake us till the curse remove, Till Thou com’st, the world’s Desire, Conquering all with sovereign love. Every fresh alarming token More confirms the faithful Word; Nature (for its Lord hath spoken) Must be suddenly restored: From this national confusion, From this ruined earth and skies, See the times of restitution, See the new creation rise! Vanish, then, this world of shadows, Pass the former things away: Lord, appear! appear to glad us With the dawn of endless day O conclude this mortal story, Throw this universe aside! Come, eternal King of glory, Now descend, and take Thy bride!

• [Why 21:1] Safe Upon The Billowy Deep

  Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, Thy servants keep Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. In the morning fill their sails, ’Mid the dark send favoring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. Let Thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray Through the watches of the night, Be Thou, Lord, their shining Light. Thus, as hour by hour rolls by, Watch them with Thy sleepless eye: Guide with Thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven land. And at last, life’s voyage o’er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with Thee Where there shall be “no more sea.”

  City of God, how broad and far Outspread thy walls sublime! The true thy chartered freemen are Of every age and clime. One holy Church, one army strong; One steadfast, high intent; One working band, one harvest song, One King omnipotent. How purely hath thy speech come down From man’s primeval youth! How grandly hath thine empire grown Of freedom, love and truth! How gleam thy watch fires through the night With never fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day! In vain the surge’s angry shock, In vain the drifting sands; Unharmed upon the eternal Rock The eternal City stands.

• [Why 21:2] Jerusalem My Happy Home

  Jerusalem, my happy home! Name ever dear to me; When shall my labors have an end, In joy, and peace, and thee? When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats, through rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. Why should I shrink at pain and woe? Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Savior stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. O Christ do Thou my soul prepare For that bright home of love; That I may see Thee and adore, With all Thy saints above. Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. In thee no sickness may be seen, No hurt, no ache, no sore; There is no death nor ugly devil, There is life for evermore. No dampish mist is seen in thee, No cold nor darksome night; There every soul shines as the sun; For God himself gives light. There lust and lucre cannot dwell; There envy bears no sway; There is no hunger, heat, nor cold, But pleasure every way. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, God grant that I may see Thine endless joy, and of the same Partaker ay may be! Thy walls are made of precious stones, Thy bulwarks diamonds square; Thy gates are of right orient pearl; Exceeding rich and rare; Thy turrets and thy pinnacles With carbuncles do shine; Thy very streets are paved with gold, Surpassing clear and fine; Thy houses are of ivory, Thy windows crystal clear; Thy tiles are made of beaten gold— O God that I were there! Within thy gates nothing doth come That is not passing clean, No spider’s web, no dirt, no dust, No filth may there be seen. Aye, my sweet home, Jerusalem, Would God I were in thee: Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see. Thy saints are crowned with glory great; They see God face to face; They triumph still, they still rejoice Most happy is their case. We that are here in banishment Continually do mourn: We sigh and sob, we weep and wail, Perpetually we groan. Our sweet is mixed with bitter gall, Our pleasure is but pain: Our joys scarce last the looking on, Our sorrows still remain. But there they live in such delight, Such pleasure and such play, As that to them a thousand years Doth seem as yesterday. Thy vineyards and thy orchards are Most beautiful and fair, Full furnished with trees and fruits, Most wonderful and rare. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green: There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. There is nectar and ambrosia made, There is musk and civet sweet; There many a fair and dainty drug Is trodden under feet. There cinnamon, there sugar grows, Here nard and balm abound. What tongue can tell or heart conceive The joys that there are found? Quite through the streets with silver sound The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side The wood of life doth grow. There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels be, And evermore do sing. There David stands with harp in hand As master of the choir: Ten thousand times that man were blessed That might this music hear. Our Lady sings Magnificat With tune surpassing sweet, And all the virgins bear their part, Sitting at her feet. There Magdalen hath left her moan, And cheerfully doth sing With blessèd saints, whose harmony In every street doth ring. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end Thy joys that I might see!

  Let us love and sing and wonder, Let us praise the Savior’s Name! He has hushed the law’s loud thunder, He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame. He has washed us with His blood, He has brought us nigh to God.

Let us sing, though fierce temptation Threaten hard to bear us down! For the Lord, our strong Salvation, Holds in view the conqueror’s crown: He Who washed us with His blood Soon will bring us home to God.

• [Why 2:7] Come And Hear The Words Of Jesus

  Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the seven stars And who walks among the seven lamps of gold. He says, “I know all your actions, you’ve tested wicked men, You have persevered, though hardships o’er you rolled. Yet I have this against you: you’ve left your first true love. Now repent, or I’ll remove you from your place. He who overcomes will eat fromGod’s precious tree of life. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who is the First and Last And Who died and then came back to life again. He says, “I know your afflictions; you’re poor, yet you are rich. You’ve endured much slander from the tongues of men. Don’t be afraid of suffering; be faithful unto death, And you will the crown of life receive one day. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the two-edged sword; He says, “You’ve been true and not renounced your faith. Yet I have some things against you: you’ve been enticed to sin; Immorality and idols you’ve embraced. You must repent, or I’ll come and fight you with My sword. Those who win will hidden manna have always. Overcomers will be given a new name cut in stone. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,Whose eyes are blazing fire. He says, “I know all your love and faith and deeds. You are doing more than ever, yet still I bring this charge, For you tolerate a teacher who misleads. I’ll make you suffer greatly, unless you now repent. You will know that I search hearts and will repay. But I’ll give each overcomer authority to rule. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the seven stars. He says, “People think you’re living, but you’re dead. You must wake up now and strengthen what’s left before it dies, For your deeds are not complete, My God has said. Obey what you have heard now, or I’ll come like a thief. He who overcomes will walk with Me always. I’ll acknowledge him in Heaven; his name I’ll ne’er erase. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who’s true and holds the key; What He opens or He shuts will stay the same. He says, “See, I’ve placed before you a door that’s open wide, For you’ve kept My word and not denied My Name. I love you; now be steadfast, so none will take your crown. Overcomers will great pillars be some day. I will write My new Name on them, the Name of My God too. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.” Come and hear the words of Jesus,God’s Witness, faithful, true. He says, “You are neither cold, nor are you hot. So because you’re lukewarm only,I’ll spit you from My mouth, For you think you’re rich and do not know you’re not. Buy gold from Me and white clothes and salve so you can see. Here I’m at the door, and now My voice I raise. He who overcomes will with Me sit down upon My throne. He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Never flinched they from the flame, from the torture never; Vain the foeman’s sharpest aim, Satan’s best endeavor: For by faith they saw the land decked in all its glory, Where triumphant now they stand with the victor’s story.

There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing; While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessèd people eternally raise. There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o’er, Those Sabbath keepers have one evermore; One and unending is that triumph song Which to the angels and us shall belong. Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon’s strand. Low before Him with our praises we fall, Of Whom, and in Whom, and through Whom are all; Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son, Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One.

• [Why 3:20] Behold, A Stranger At The Door!

  Behold, a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. But will He prove a Friend indeed? He will; the very Friend you need; The Friend of sinners—yes, ’tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in. Admit Him, for the human breast Ne’er entertained so kind a Guest; No mortal tongue their joys can tell With whom He condescends to dwell. Sovereign of souls, Thou Prince of Peace, O may Thy gentle reign increase: Throw wide the door, each willing mind; And be His empire all mankind.

  How sweetly o’er the mountain of Zion, lovely Zion, The anthem of ages comes sweeping along; The anthem of the faithful, we hear, and, rejoicing, Our hearts in glad measure keep tune with the song. Refrain O the Lion of Judah hath triumphed forever, O the Lion of Judah is mighty and strong. O happy, happy tidings, the kingdom now is opened, The seals are all broken; proclaim it afar; From bondage and oppression by Him we are delivered, The Lion of Judah, the bright Morning Star.

• [Why 5:9] All Mortal Vanities, Begone

  All mortal vanities, begone, Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears; Behold, amidst th’eternal throne, A vision of the Lamb appears. Glory His fleecy robe adorns, Marked with the bloody death He bore; Seven are His eyes, and seven His horns, To speak His wisdom and His power. Lo! He receives a sealèd book From Him that sits upon the throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark decrees and things unknown. All the assembling saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new songs of Gospel sound Address their honors to His Name. The joy, the shout, the harmony, Flies o’er the everlasting hills “Worthy art Thou alone,” they cry, “To read the book, to loose the seals.” Our voices join the heav’nly strain, And with transporting pleasure sing, “Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King!” His words of prophecy reveal Eternal counsels, deep designs; His grace and vengeance shall fulfill The peaceful and the dreadful lines. Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell With Thine invaluable blood; And wretches that did once rebel Are now made favorites of their God. Worthy forever is the Lord, That died for treasons not His own, By every tongue to be adored, And dwell upon His Father’s throne!

Thine would I live, Thine would I die, Be Thine through all eternity; The vow is past beyond repeal, And now I set the solemn seal.

The Savior with His own; To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin nor death Shall enter ever more. O Lamb of God Who reignest, Thou bright and morning Star!

Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe.

Glory to God, and praise and love Be ever, ever given, By saints below and saints above, The church in earth and heaven. On this glad day the glorious Sun Of Righteousness arose; On my benighted soul He shone And filled it with repose. Sudden expired the legal strife, ’Twas then I ceased to grieve; My second, real, living life I then began to live. Then with my heart I first believed, Believed with faith divine, Power with the Holy Ghost received To call the Savior mine. I felt my Lord’s atoning blood Close to my soul applied; Me, me He loved, the Son of God, For me, for me He died! I found and owned His promise true, Ascertained of my part, My pardon passed in heaven I knew When written on my heart. Look unto Him, ye nations, own Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature’s sleep, And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep, And wash the Æthiop white. Harlots and publicans and thieves In holy triumph join! Saved is the sinner that believes From crimes as great as mine. Murderers and all ye hellish crew In holy triumph join! Believe the Savior died for you; For me the Savior died.

Power and dominion are His due Who stood condemned at Pilate’s bar; Wisdom belongs to Jesus too, Though He was charged with madness here. All riches are His native right, Yet He sustained amazing loss; To him ascribe eternal might, Who left His weakness on the cross. Honor immortal must be paid, Instead of scandal and of scorn; While glory shines around His head, And a bright crown without a thorn. Blessings forever on the Lamb Who bore the curse for wretched men; Let angels sound His sacred Name, And every creature say, Amen.

• [Why 5:13] Countless Multitudes On High, The

  The countless multitudes on high, Who tune their songs to Jesus’ Name, All merit of their own deny, And Jesus’ worth alone proclaim. Firm on the ground of sovereign grace They stand before Jehovah’s throne; The new song in that blessèd place Is, “Thou art worthy, Thou alone!” With spotless robes of purest white, And branches of triumphal palm, They shout, with transports of delight, Heaven’s ceaseless, universal psalm; “Salvation’s glory all be paid To Him who sits upon the throne, And to the Lamb whose blood was shed: Thou, Thou art worthy, Thou alone; For Thou was slain, and in Thy blood These robes were washed so spotless pure! Thou mad’st us kings and priests to God: For ever let Thy praise endure!” While thus the ransomed myriads shout, “Amen!” the holy angels cry— Amen! Amen! resounds throughout The boundless regions of the sky.

• [Why 5:13] O For A Sweet, Inspiring Ray

  O for a sweet, inspiring ray, To animate our feeble strains, From the bright realms of endless day, The blissful realms where Jesus reigns. There low before the glorious throne, Adoring saints and angels fall! And with delightful worship own His smile their bliss, their heav’n, their all. Immortal glories crown His head, While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love, and joy, and triumph spread, Thro’ all th’assemblies of the skies. He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs, To boundless rapture while they gaze; Ten thousand, joyful tongues Resound His everlasting praise.

• [Why 5:13] See The Ransomed Millions Stand

  See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hand; This before the throne their strain, “Hell is vanquished, death is slain; Blessing, honor, glory, might, Are the Conqueror’s native right; Thrones and powers before Him fall, Lamb of God and Lord of all!” Hasten, Lord the promised hour; Come in glory and in power; Still Thy foes are unsubdued; Nature sighs to be renewed. Time has nearly reached its sum; All things, with Thy bride, say “Come”; Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore.

• [Why 5:13] Thro’ The New Heav’n What Voices Ring

  Thro’ the new Heav’n what voices ring In praise triumphant to our King? Like many waters, hark, they pour Their tide along the golden shore! “All blessing, honor, power divine, All might and majesty be Thine! Holy and true are all Thy words, Thou King of kings and Lord of lords!” These from the martyrs bed of flame, These from the gloomy dungeon came, These, on the dreadful battlefield, Stood firm till death and would not yield. All voices in that faithful throng, Swell clear and true the glorious song; “Holy and true are all Thy words, Thou King of kings and Lord of lords!” These bore Thy banner o’er the sea, Exiled and poor for love of Thee, And found in danger and distress, Thy presence in the wilderness. No storm could shake, no ill could harm So strong was Thy protecting arm, “Holy and true are all Thy words, Thou King of kings and Lord of lords!”
