See the New World Arise!

My Jesus’  hand shall wipe the tears

From every weeping eye,

And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,

And death itself, shall die."

"Nature and sin are passed away,

And the old Adam dies;

My hands a new foundation lay,

See the new world arise.

See the new world arise.

See the new world arise.

I will walk in His presence

Where my soul never dies

See the new world arise.

It’s by your death we live, O Lord,

Beneath your cross we rest;

For ever be Your love adored,

Your name for ever blessed.

Mighty Redeemer! set me free

From my old state of sin;

O make my soul alive to thee,

Create new powers within.

See the new world arise.

See the new world arise.

I will walk in His presence

Where my soul never dies

See the new world arise.

Renew my eyes, and form my ears,

And mold my heart afresh;

Give me new passions, joys, and fears,

And turn the stone to flesh.

Far from the regions of the dead,

From sin, and earth, and hell,

In the new world that grace has made,

I would for ever dwell.

See the new world arise.

See the new world arise.

I will walk in His presence

Where my soul never dies

See the new world arise.
