Jerusalem the golden

Appears in 916 hymnals First Line: Jerusalem the golden! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, Oh! I know not What joys await us there; With radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many angels, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, His light is ever seen; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen, Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the Throne of David, And bliss without alloy, The shout of them that triumph, The song of festal joy; And they who with their Leader Have conquer'd in the fight Forever and forever. Are dress'd in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Used With Tune: [Jerusalem the golden!]
