City, Heavenly Salem, Vision dear of Peace and Love, Who, of living stones upbuilded, Art the joy of Heav'n above, And, with angel cohorts circled, As a Bride to earth dost move!

From celestial realms descending, Ready for the nuptial bed, To His presence, deck'd with jewels, By her shall she be led: All her streets, and all her bulwarks, Of pure gold are fashioned.

Bright with pearls her portal glitters; It is open evermore; And, by virtue of His merits, Thither faithful souls may soar,
