Lyrics
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I create new heav’ns and a new earth, and the former, the former shall not be remembered, the former, the former shall not be remembered nor
come into mind, nor come into mind, the former shall not come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for behold, I create, behold, I create
Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy, Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I saw a new heav’n and a new earth, for the first heav’n and earth were passed
away, were passed away, and I saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem. And I heard a great voice out of Heav’n saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell
with them, and they shall be His people, and God shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, nor any more pain, nor any more pain, for the former things have passed away. I saw also the Lord, sitting upon a Throne, high and lifted up, and
His train filled the Temple. Above it stood the Seraphim, and one cried unto another and said: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Hosts: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts.
