Jerusalem 53
Tune: Arranged by William Walker, 1835
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: John Cennick, 1743
Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon,
His track I see, and I’ll pursue
The narrow way ’till Him I view.
Chorus:
I’m on my journey home, to the New Jerusalem,
So fare you well, I am going home.
The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King’s highway of holiness
I’ll go, for all His paths are peace.
(Chorus)
