Leader:
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.
ALL:
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
Leader:
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
ALL:
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
Leader:
“To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”
(Revelation 22:1–5, 12–14; 2:7 ESV)
