A city radiant as a bride

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Common Praise #364 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A city radiant as a bride and bright with gold and gem, a crystal river clear and wide, the new Jerusalem; a city wrought of wealth untold, her jewelled walls aflame with green and amethyst and gold and colours one can name. 2 A holy city, clear as glass, where saints in glory dwell; through gates of pearl her people pass to fields of asphodel. In robes of splendour, pure and white, they walk the golden floor, where God himself shall be their light and night shall be no more. 3 A city ever new and fair, the Lamb's eternal bride; no suffering or grief is there and every tear is dried. There Christ prepares for us a place, from sin and death restored, and we shall stand before his face, the ransomed of the Lord.
