Come and behold the new life, heaven and earth reborn.

Springing forth in ripeness, fruit of the Tree of Life;

Torment of doubt is o-ver, gone is the shadow of death.

Still God can raise me pur - i - fied, giving creation to me.

Letting me live in His palace, shining with golden Light;

Boundless His love and kindness, boundless His Love for me!
