Oh, how I long for Thee!
When will my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys, when shall I see?
Refrain:
I will meet you in the city of the New Jerusalem,
I am washed in the blood of the Lamb;
I will meet you in the city of the New Jerusalem,
I am washed in the blood of the Lamb.
2 Thy walls are all of precious stone
Most glorious to behold
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold. [Refrain]
3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant streams
My study long have been –
Such sparkling gems by human sight
Have never yet been seen. [Refrain]
4 Reach down, reach down thine arms of grace
And cause me to ascend
Where congregations ne’er break up
And praises never end. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Jerusalem, my happy home]
My Happy Home
