1. We are on our journey home, Where Christ our Lord is gone;
2. We can see that distant home, Though clouds rise dark between,
We shall meet around his throne, When he makes his people one
Faith views the radiant dome, And a luster flashes keen
In the new, In the new Jerusalem.
From the new, From the new Jerusalem.
In the new Jerusalem.
From the new Jerusalem.

3. A glory shining far
From the never setting Sun!
O trembling morning star!
Our journey's almost done
To the new,
To the new Jerusalem.

4. O holy, heavenly home!
O, rest eternal there!
When shall the exiles come,
Where they cease from earthly care,
In the new,
In the new Jerusalem.

5. Our hearts are breaking now
Those mansions fair to see;
O Lord! thy heavens bow
And raise us up with thee
To the new,
To the new Jerusalem.
