City of the Great King Lyrics

Welcome home
Where your eyes will finally look upon hope
And every captive is at long last saved
A ransomed bride within her city gates
Welcome home
This is Jerusalem the beautiful

Hereafter you will see angels ascending and descending
The son of strength takes you to the inherited kingdom of your youth
Hereafter favor comes that claims Zion's remaining ones
It's your reward made claim the everlasting deed of Abram's dream

Welcome home (Where every wasted place becomes)
The barren heights will surge and overflow (Like Eden's garden)
And from the throne issues the old vein (And living streams will again fill)
With only a touch the earth reanimates (The withered ground with life)
Welcome home
This is Zion of the Holy One

Where every wasted place becomes
Like Eden's garden
And living streams will again fill
The withered ground with life
Like the rush of Elim's waters (You are married not forsaken)
Like the rush of Elim's waters (You're sought out for you delight Him)
Like the rush of Elim's waters (Jerusalem, oh, Jerusalem)
Like the rush of Elim's waters (You will never weep again)
