Recessional Hymn : Blessed City, heavenly Salem

30.       Recessional “Blessed City, Heavenly Salem” (Tune : Westminster Abbey)

1.         Blessed City, heavenly Salem,

            Vision dear of peace and love,

            Who of living stones art builded

            In the height of heaven above,

            And by angel hosts encircled

            As a bride dost earthward move!

2.         Christ is made the sure Foundation,

            Christ the Head and corner-stone,

            Chosen of the Lord, and precious,

            Binding all the Church in one,

            Holy Zion’s help for ever.

            And her confidence alone.

3.         To this temple, where we call thee,

            Come, O Lord of Hosts, today;

            With thy wonted loving-kindness

            Hear thy servants as they pray;

            And thy fullest benediction

            Shed within its walls always.

4.         Here vouchsafe to all thy servants

            What they ask of thee to gain,

            What they gain from thee for ever

            With the blessed to retain,

            And hereafter in thy glory

            Evermore with thee to reign.
