City of the Great King Songtext
von Pas Neos

Welcome home!
Where your eyes will
Finally look upon hope
And every capitve is at long last safe
A ransomed bride within her city gates
Welcome home!
This is Jerusalem the Beautiful!


Hereafter you will see
Angels ascending and descending
The Son of Strength takes you
To the inherited kingdom of your youth
Hereafter favor comes
That claimed Zion′s remaining ones
It's your reward made clean
The everlasting deed of Abram′s dream

Welcome home!
The barren heights will surge and overflow
From the throne issues the old vein
With only a touch the earth reanimates
Welcome home!
This is Zion of the Holy One!

Where every wasted place becomes
Like Eden's Garden
And living streams will again fill
The withered ground with life

Like the rush of Elim's waters


You are Married, Not Forsaken!
You′re Sought Out, for you delight Him!
Jerusalem, o Jerusalem
You will never weep again!
