The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#167

167. Jerusalem, the golden!

1 Jerusalem the golden!
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not--oh, I know not,
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare. Amen.

2 They stand, those halls of Sion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are deck'd in glorious sheen. Amen.

3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquer'd in the fight,
Forever and forever,
Are clad in robes of white. Amen.
