Refrain:
AllBy the river stood the tree
of life,
with healing for all the nations.
1I saw no temple in the
city, •
for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty
and the Lamb.
2And the city has no
need of sun or moon
to shine upon it, •
for the glory of God is its light,
and its lamp is the Lamb.
3By its light the nations
shall walk, •
and the rulers of the earth
shall bring their glory into it.
4Its gates shall never
be shut by day,
nor shall there be any night; •
they shall bring into it
the glory and honour of the nations.
5I saw the river of the
water of life,
bright as crystal, •
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
6And either side of the
river stood the tree of life,
yielding its fruit each month, •
and the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations.
7The throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be there,
and his servants shall worship him; •
and they shall see his face
and his name shall be on their foreheads.
Revelation 21.22-26; 22.1, 2b, d, 3b, 4
AllTo the One who sits on the
throne and to the Lamb •
be blessing and honour and glory and might,
for ever and ever. Amen.
AllBy the river stood the tree
of life,
with healing for all the nations. Alleluia.
