There came a pure river of water
of life out of the throne, and on each side of the river, in the streets
of the city, there was a tree of life, the leaves of which are for the
healing of all nations. Before the throne stood a great multitude, which
no man could number, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their
hands. And as John listened, he heard a sound like the voice of many
waters; then, as it became clearer, it seemed like the voice of a great
thunder; but at last it rang down into his opened ears as the voice of
many harpers, singing a new song with their harps. And he heard a great
voice out of heaven, proclaiming the covenant of God with men: "Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they
shall be His people; and God Himself shall be with them, and be their
God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain." The disciple whom Jesus loved saw many other things which he
was commanded to seal up; but these things were written for our comfort.'
'And little Nan is there,' murmured Stephen, as the tears rolled down his
cheeks.
