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!
