The Lord is risen,

He will dwell with men,

And they shall be his people!

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death,

Neither sorrow nor crying,

Neither shall there be any more pain.

God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death,

Neither sorrow nor crying,

Neither shall there be any more pain.

For the former things are passed away.

Behold I make all things new, saith the Lord.

For the former things are passed away.

Behold I make all things new, saith the Lord,

Saith the Lord…

God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death,

Neither sorrow nor crying,

Neither shall there be any more pain.

And God shall wipe away all tears…

All tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death,

Neither sorrow nor crying,

Neither sorrow nor crying.
