Hymn A & M 623- JERUSALEM, my happy home |
1. JERUSALEM, my happy home,
When shall l come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy Joys when shall I see?
O happy harbour of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
in thee no sorrow may be found.
No grief, no care, no toil.
2. There lust and lucre cannot dwell:
There envy bears no sway;
There is no hunger, heat, nor cold,
But pleasure every way:
Thy walls are made of precious stones,
Thy bulwarks diamonds square;
Thy gates are of right orient pearl.
Exceeding rich and rare.
3. Ah, my sweet home, Jerusalem.
Would God l were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy Joys that I might see!
Thy saints are crowned with glory great,
They see God face to face:
They triumph still, they still rejoice:
Most happy is their case.
4. Thy vineyards and thy orchards are
Most beautiful and fair,
Full furnished with trees and fruits
Most wonderful and rare:
Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green:
There glow such sweet and pleasant
flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
5. Quite through the streets with
silver sound
The flood of life doth flow,
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow:
There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit,
And evermore do sing.
6. There David stands with harp in hand
As master of the choir
Ten thousand times that man were
blest
That might this music hear:
Our Lady sings Magnificat
With tune surpassing sweet,
And all the virgins bear their parts,
Sitting about her feet.
7. Te Deum doth Saint Ambrose sing,
Saint Austin doth the like:
Old Simeon and Zachary
Have not their songs to seek:
There Magdalene hath left her moan,
And cheerfully doth sing
With blessed saints, whose harmony
in every street doth ring.
8. Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant I once may see
Thy endless Joys, and of the same
Partaker ay to be!
