Author: Carolina Vilhelmina (Sandell) Berg, (1832-1903) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest, Within thy portals first I find My safety, peace, and rest. Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, That is at best their strength. 2 No wonder, then, that I do long, O blessèd home, for thee, Where I shall find a resting-place, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed away, In darkness turned to light. 3 Now all for me has lost its charm Which here so much is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Saviour Jesus raised. My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate'er the price may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

Carolina Sandell

1823 - 1903 Person Name: Karolina W. Sandell-Berg Author of "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" in The Cyber Hymnal Caroline W. Sandell Berg (b. Froderyd, Sweden, 1832; d. Stockholm, Sweden, 1903), is better known as Lina Sandell, the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden." "Lina" Wilhelmina Sandell Berg was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor to whom she was very close; she wrote hymns partly to cope with the fact that she witnessed his tragic death by drowning. Many of her 650 hymns were used in the revival services of Carl O. Rosenius, and a number of them gained popularity particularly because of the musical settings written by gospel singer Oskar Ahnfelt. Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish soprano, underwrote the cost of publishing a collection of Ahnfelt's music, Andeliga Sänger (1850), which consisted mainly of Berg's hymn texts. Bert Polman
