| 1 |
Jerusalem, my happy home, O how I long for thee! When will my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? |
|||||
| 2 |
Thy walls are made of precious stone, Most glorious to behold Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are pav'd with gold. |
|||||
| 3 |
Thy garden and thy pleasant green My study long have been; Such sparkling light by human fight, Has never yet been seen. |
|||||
| 4 |
If Heav'n be thus far glorious, Lord, Why should I stay from thence? What folly's this that I shou'd dread? To die and go from hence! |
|||||
| 5 |
Reach down, reach down, thine arm of grace, And cause me to ascend, Where congregations near break up, And Sabbaths never end. |
|||||
| 6 |
Jesus my love to glory's gone, Him will I go and see; And all my brethren here below, Will soon come after me. |
|||||
| 7 |
My friends, I bid you all adieu, I leave you in God's care, And if I never more see you, Go on I'll meet you there. |
|||||
| 8 |
There we shall meet and no more part, And Heav'n shall ring with praise, While Jesus' love in ev'ry heart Shall tune the song free grace. |
|||||
| 9 |
Millions of years around my run, Our song shall still go on, To praise the Father and the Son, And Spirit, three in One. |
|||||
| 10 |
When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun. |
Ninety-Fifth Psalm 36b, Stanza 3 |
