Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #64 (1867) First Line: Jerusalem, my happy home Refrain First Line: We're going home, we're going home Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
O how I long for thee!
When will my sorrows have an end,
The joys when shall I see?
Chorus:
We're going home, we're going home,
We're going home to live forever.
2 Thy walls are all of precious stones,
Most glorious to behold;
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold. [Chorus]
3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant greens
My study long have been;
Such sparkling gems by human sight
Have never yet been seen. [Chorus]
4 If heaven be thus glorious, Lord,
Why should I stay from thence?
What folly 'tis that I should dread
To die and go from hence! [Chorus]
5 When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've not less days to sing God's praise,
Then when we first begun. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: GOING HOME
