On The New Jerusalem
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #136 (1927) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 On the new Jerusalem,
Which the King from Bethlehem
By His Word has builded,
We must build with faith and pray'r,
By Thy Spirit's loving care
And God's mercy shielded.
2 Its foundation, prais'd alone
As the church's corner stone,
We are all extolling;
It is Jesus Christ the Lord,
Who a refuge shall afford,
Though the stars be falling.
3 He who nothing dead condones,
Shall of us as lively stones
Build His living temple,
Which upon its base will rise
Like a tree whose root supplies
It with nurture ample.
4 Grant Thy church may ever rest
On its true foundation blest
And its faith not alter.
Fill it with Thy light and power,
With Thy graces it embower,
Never let it falter.
5 With Thy friends, O Lord, us rate,
And despite our lowly state,
Deign with us to tarry.
Let Thy peace in us abide
And, when comes the eventide,
To Thy joy us carry. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: [On the new Jerusalem]

As the church's corner stone
