by Unknown

In heaven her glorious turrets shine,

Her walls of living stones are framed;

While angels guard her on each side,

Fit company for such a bride.

She, decked in new attire, from heaven,

Her wedding-chamber, now descends,

Prepared in marriage to be given

To Christ, on whom her joy depends.

Her walls wherewith she is enclosed,

And streets are of pure gold composed.
