Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #353b (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end
In joy, and peace, and thee.
2 When shall these eyes thy heavenbuilt walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where evermore the angels sing,
Where sabbaths have no end?
4 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes,
I onward press to you.
5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
7 Jerusalem, my happy home!
My soul still pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joy shall see.
Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
