Oratorio - Taivaallinen Jerusalem lyrics

[translation]

[Heavenly Jerusalem]

It was built before no souls were created

In advance God wanted you to be there

2000 years ago the earth shook

“Look; the kingdom of God is among you.”

Peace and joy dominate there

The enemies of love He judges away

Always we praise our saviour Jesus in immovable kingdom

Thousands of angels and the chosen ones.

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Arrive the Almighty, come heavenly Jerusalem

There is no more fear. I know where to find the light

It's time for a new life. All that was is left behind.

Now seek for the Lord because He has the power and honour!

Thousands of angels and the chosen ones.

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Arrive the Almighty, come heavenly Jerusalem
