Through the new Jerusalem, Lined with fairest flowers, Flows a pure and crystal stream, Wat'ring the heavenly bowers. On its banks we hope to stand, Close by the beautiful river, There to join the ransomed band, Singing and praising forever. Chorus—Singing and praising forever, Close by the beautiful river, There to join the ransomed band, Singing and praising forever. There are saints in robes of white Who have gone before us; With the angels they unite, Swelling the heavenly chorus. And with them we hope to stand, Close by the beautiful river; There to join the ransomed band, Singing and praising forever. —Cho. They who long the cross have borne Cast their crowns before him; Martyrs with their harps of gold, Singing with joy, adore Him. Soon along the verdant banks, Close by the beautiful river, We shall hail our Savior King, Singing and praising forever. —Cho.
