1 The New Jerusalem—ultimate sign; The ultimate goal of God's economy; Incorporation, 'tis human—divine; Deified, we with God one building will be. 2 In constitution, not corporeal; But fully organic, entirely of life. Her one reality's spiritual; In our living and work, at this we'll arrive. 3 All aspects of New Jerusalem Were by the apostles perceived and conveyed. Their teaching was the whole New Testament; All their living and work this vision displayed. 4 Her base, her gates, her foundations, her wall, Her temple, her throne, her supply and her light— All shown by signs in the last book of all; Their significance rich we cannot deny. 5 One life, one work, this our one goal today: For that highest point where we'll all be the same; Flesh, nat'ral being no more have a place; Going up step by step, God's goal to attain.
