Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: Francis Baker Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 847 hymnals 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 heaven-built walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 O 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 from 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 joys shall see. Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday Used With Tune: MACFARREN Text Sources: Composite translation, 1801, a.
Jerusalem, my happy home
Another Day Has Passed Away
Author: C. H. L. Schuette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Another day has passed away,
A day of praise and prayer;
Then come, my soul, thy God extol
And own Thy Savior's care.
2 Secure from harm, His mighty arm
Has led me through the day;
And from above, with gifts of love,
He cheered me on my way.
3 Now, as of old, He leads His fold
On meads of shady green;
While on His breast, in sweetest rest,
The lambkins fondly lean.
4 Care not, says He, but trust in me,
And I will care for you;
My faithfulness and kindliness
And every morning new.
5 O bliss divine, that Christ is mine,
Who thus attends His own!
Then come, my soul, Thy God extol,
And make His praises known.
Amen. Topics: Sunday Evening Used With Tune: MACFARREN
