5013  New Jerusalem: the Highest Point of the Apostles' Living and Work

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.
