In new heaven and new earth
New Jerusalem lies;
Out of God it has its birth,
With God’s radiance thrice.
New Jerusalem lies;
Out of God it has its birth,
With God’s radiance thrice.
Lo, God’s image it doth bear,
And God’s glory it doth share!
And the Lord Himself is there
In that city of God.
And God’s glory it doth share!
And the Lord Himself is there
In that city of God.

All the gates are pearls assigned
In the city of gold,
And the street is gold refined
With foundations twelvefold.
In the city of gold,
And the street is gold refined
With foundations twelvefold.

There life’s crystal river flows
With abundant supplies,
And the tree of life there grows
And all need satisfies.
With abundant supplies,
And the tree of life there grows
And all need satisfies.

God is there the great I AM
In that city of light;
God’s the light within the Lamb,
And there never is night.
In that city of light;
God’s the light within the Lamb,
And there never is night.

In the New Jerusalem God is light, and His shining is His glory. The shining is the coming out of the light. Hence, when God shines in the city, He is expressed in glory, first in and through Christ, and then in the city and through the saints. God is the light, Christ is the containing lamp, and the city’s wall bears the divine light to express God. Today the believers as children of light (Eph. 5:8) are the light of the world (Matt. 5:14), shining in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation (Phil. 2:15). Eventually, the New Jerusalem as a composition of all the saints will be the light-bearer, shining forth God as light over the nations around her.

God dwells in the temple, and He dwells also in the city. In the temple God has fellowship with His people, and in the city, God reigns among His people. (Recovery Version, footnotes)
