ETERNITY

Dressed in fine linen;

Bright and pure are the saints,

As the marriage of the Lamb has come

When the Bride is embraced.

It’s a marriage in the heavenly realm

As we’re reconciled to the Father;

Our Creator and the Holy One

To worship Him forever after.

His robe is dipped in blood;

The Word of God is His name,

And His sacrifice is remembered forever

When in eternity He reigns.

The King of kings and Lord of lords;

The One who overcame,

And is seated at the right hand of the Father;

Jesus Christ is His name.

The holy city is so perfect

Like the rarest of all jewels;

Clear as crystal, like a jasper

Adorned with beryl and with pearls.

The tree of life will yield its fruit

And its leaves will heal the nations,

As His servants worship the Lord forever

With joyful anticipation.

A multitude of thrones

To whom authority is committed,

And also the souls of those beheaded;

Near the Father will be seated.

But those who rejected the Lord on earth

Will stand before the throne,

The great white throne as books are opened

Where no sin will be condoned.

But forgiveness will take place

For those whose trust was in the Lord,

Who repented for their transgressions

And who had reverence for His word.

The Book of Life will contain

Those names whom belong to Him,

And will be judged according to their works

But delivered from their sins.

The second death will have no power

And blessed are those souls,

Who take part in the first resurrection

And will reign with Christ behold!

No more heartache, no more pain

And not another tear ever,

As former things have passed away

And where there will be joy forever.
