Poetry

---

God creates new Heavens and earth,
The former things are forgotten;
Giving the chosen a new birth,
All the righteous as begotten.

Be glad and rejoice forever,
Bringing a new Zion with joy;
A gladness that will not sever,
That no one will ever destroy.

Rejoice in Zion and be glad,
For no more weeping shall be heard;
No cry of distress making sad,
Only joy coming from the Word.

No more thence an infant of days,
Nor an old man filling his years;
The young men shall live in His ways,
But the sinner shall die with fears.

They build houses to inhabit,
Planting vineyards and eat their fruit;
But changing not of their habit,
Immoral ways retains its root.

They shall not plant another eat,
Like the days trees are like people;
That they would never have their feet,
Enter the doors of the temple.

His chosen enjoying their deeds,
And they shall not labor in vain;
As they cater unto the needs,
Of their children from any pain.

They are the children of the Lord,
The offspring of their descendants;
That will remain in one accord,
Lauding God for His transcendence.

Before they call God will respond,
While they yet speaking their prayer;
For the chosen will have a bond,
On everything that they will share.

The wolf and lamb graze together,
While the lion will eat hay;
On the holy mount they gather,
As they all honor and obey.
