Hymn 350 – BLESSED city, Heaven Salem | C&S English Hymnary

1. BLESSED city, Heaven Salem Vision clear of peace and love, who of living stones an builded In the height of Heaven above And, with Angel-hosts encircled As a bride to earth dost move. 2. From celestial realms descending Bridal glory round thee shed Meet for Him, whose love espoused thee. To thy Lord shalt thou be led All thy streets, and all thy bulwarks Of pure gold are fashioned. 3. Bright thy gates of pearl are shinning They are open evermore And by virtue of His merits Thither faithful souls may soar Who for Christ’s dear Name in this world Pain and tribulations bore. 4. Many a blow and biting sculpture Polished well those stones elect. In their places now compacted, By the Heavenly Architect Who therewith hath willed for ever That His palace should be decked. 5. Praise and honour to the Father Praise and honour to the Son, Praise and honour to the Spirit Ever Three and ever One, One in Might, and One in Glory While Eternal Ages run AMEN
