299 New Jerusalem

Words: Isaac Watts, 1707

Music: Jeremiah Ingalls, 1796

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes;
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies!

From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
