The City and the Bride
1
|
The New Jerusalem, the kingdom with God’s throne, Is Christ, the ruling Head of God’s house, the church, God’s home; The life within the church is the life of God Himself, The life that rules and reigns, and saves from sin and self. |
New Jerusalem! The city and the bride! Builded up, beautified, and wholly sanctified! |

|
The New Jerusalem is in reality The church with Christ as Head in God’s economy; The content of the church must be the kingdom life, Expressed through all the saints experiencing Christ. |

|
The New Jerusalem is builded in the Lord, A company in Christ established in the Word; As fellow citizens, God’s kingdom manifest, In spirit live and walk, and enter Sabbath rest. |
4
|
The New Jerusalem, the bride who is prepared, Is beautified by Christ, to be His wife, matured; In nature and in life she must in stature grow And in the Body live, the Body-life to know. |
5
|
The New Jerusalem, eternal, builded bride, From self she is delivered from independent pride; Her righteousness is Christ yet in her daily life She manifested God, and lived and worked in Christ. |
6
|
The New Jerusalem, the city and the bride, Remains in God forever, forever to abide; A city that is holy, in God one entity, And shining forth with Christ unto eternity. |
