Jerusalem the Golden

What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them, My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints, They stand, those hall of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white!
