This is a classic hymn, Sweeping Through the Gates of New Jerusalem, and yet no one seems to know exactly when it was first published. It’s also known as Washed in the Blood of the Lamb, and I first heard it on a “Lord Peter Wimsey” episode. This at-home version is by Darby and Orby Jack.
I found this by accident today, and I want to share it with you–Sweeping Through the Gates of New Jerusalem: another allusion to St. John’s vision of the New Jerusalem descending to the regenerated Earth.
It’s been a few days since anybody requested a hymn, so let me once again invite you all to do so. If I can find it, I’ll post it.
Why do we need all these hymns?
Check out the news, any day of the week, and you’ll see.
