To Jesus be praise without end Hymn 408

1 To Jesus be praise without end for glories revealed in his Word; we see the new city descend, adorned as a bride for her Lord. Here nothing can enter unclean, no evil can breathe in the air; no gloom of affliction is seen, no shadow of darkness is there.

2 With wonder and joy we behold the holy Jerusalem here, whose buildings and streets are of gold, whose walls are of jasper most clear. With stones her foundations are set, that glow with a lustre serene; her gates, all of pearl, never shut, and nations and kings shall come in.

3 No need of the sun or the moon to shine on this happy abode; her light, more resplendent than noon, beams forth from the glory of God. The Lamb is her light and her sun, of life and salvation the spring: Jehovah and Jesus are one, her Saviour, her God, and her King. From the New Church Conference 1823 Hymn Book
