Part 1 | |||
Blessèd city, heavenly Salem, | |||
vision dear of peace and love, | |||
who of living stones art builded | |||
in the height of heaven above, | |||
and, with angel hosts encircled, | |||
as a bride dost earthward move. | |||
From celestial realms descending, | |||
bridal glory round thee shed, | |||
meet for him whose love espoused thee, | |||
to thy Lord shalt thou be led; | |||
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks | |||
of pure gold are fashionèd. | |||
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining, | |||
they are open evermore; | |||
and by virtue of his merits | |||
thither faithful souls do soar, | |||
who for Christ’s dear name in this world | |||
pain and tribulation bore. | |||
Many a blow and biting sculpture | |||
polished well those stones elect, | |||
in their places now compacted | |||
by the heavenly Architect, | |||
who therewith hath willed for ever | |||
that his palace should be decked. | |||
Part II | |||
Christ is made the sure foundation, | |||
Christ the head and corner-stone, | |||
chosen of the Lord, and precious, | |||
binding all the Church in one, | |||
holy Sion’s help for ever, | |||
and her confidence alone. | |||
All that dedicated city, | |||
dearly loved of God on high, | |||
in exultant jubilation | |||
pours perpetual melody, | |||
God the One in Three adoring | |||
in glad hymns eternally. | |||
Part III | |||
To this temple, where we call thee, | |||
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day; | |||
with thy wonted loving-kindness | |||
hear thy servants as they pray, | |||
and thy fullest benediction | |||
shed within its walls alway. | |||
Here vouchsafe to all thy servants | |||
what they ask of thee to gain, | |||
what they gain from thee for ever | |||
with the blessèd to retain, | |||
and hereafter in thy glory | |||
evermore with thee to reign. | |||
Doxology | |||
Laud and honour to the Father, | |||
laud and honour to the Son, | |||
laud and honour to the Spirit, | |||
ever Three, and ever One, | |||
consubstantial, co-eternal, | |||
while unending ages run.}} | |||
