The Morning Star ‎#55

55. Happy pilgrims

1 To the heavenly Jerusalem
They are singing, as they go;
And the King thereof shall welcome them,
For He loves, He loves them so.

Chorus:
Thro' the open, pearly portals
Sounds the wondrous new-made song;
And the anthems of immortals
Greet the happy pilgrim throng.

2 In the heavenly Jerusalem,
No more night their souls shall know;
There the Lord's dear face shall shine on them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]

3 In the heavenly Jerusalem,
All their tears shall cease to flow;
No more sorrow, pain, nor death for them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]

4 To that heavenly Jerusalem,
With the pilgrims will you go?
Singing songs of endless praise with them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]
