1 - يا حُسنَها مدينةً
نازلةً من السما
هللويا
ذات جلال ضوءُها
كجوهر قد كرُما
هللويا

2 - فيها من الأسواق ما
يُبهرُ عين الناظرِ
هللويا
قد صُنعتْ من ذهبٍ
مثلَ الزجاج الزاهرِ
هللويا

3 - نِعمَ المدينةُ التي
لم يُرَ فيها هيكلُ
هللويا
وإنما هيكلها
رب العُلى والحملُ
هللويا

4 - طول النهار سرمدا
أبوبها لا تُغلقُ
هللويا
ولا يكون ضِمنُها
ليلٌ عليها يُطبقُ
هللويا

5 - وكل ما بالرجسِ أو
بغير حقٍّ يُعملُ
هللويا
وكل شيءٍ نَجِسٍ
في بابها لا يدخلُ
هللويا
