Text:Jerusalem, my happy home!
Tune:RHINE

141b. Jerusalem, my happy home!

1 Jerusalem, my happy home!
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end,
In joy and peace and thee?
In joy and peace and thee?

2 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end?
And Sabbaths have no end?

3 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.

4 Jerusalem, my happy home!
My soul still pants for thee;
Then will my labors have an end
When I thy joys shall see.
