edward bairstow - blessed city, heavenly salem lyrics
blessed city, heavenly salem
vision dear of peace and love
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above
and by angel hands apparelled
as a bride doth earthward move;
out of heaven from god descending
new and ready to be wed
to thy lord, whose love espoused thee
fair adorned shalt thou be led;
all thy gates and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned
bright thy gates of pеarl are shining;
they are opеn evermore;
and their well+earned rest attaining
thither faithful souls do soar
who for christ’s dear name in this world
pain and tribulation bore
many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly architect
nevermore to leave the temple
which with them the lord hath decked
to this temple, where we call thee
come, o lord of hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving kindness
hear thy servants as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway
