| To show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass. (Rev. 1:1) |
| The twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Rev. 21:21‑23) |
Long the blessed guide has led me
By the desert road;
Now I see the golden towers,
City of my God. |
Where no shade nor stain can enter
Nor the gold be dim,
In that holiness unsullied,
I shall walk with Him. |
