Jerusalem, the golden!
Author: J. M. Neale; Bernard of Cluny Meter: 7.6 D Appears in 916 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden!
With milk and honey blest;
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, oh, I know not
What joys await us there!
What radiancy of glory!
What bliss beyond compare!
2 They stand, those halls of Sion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessèd
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they, who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blesséd country,
The Home of God's elect!
O sweet and blesséd 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.
Amen. Topics: Processional; Church Triumphant Used With Tune: [Jerusalem the golden]
Jerusalem, the golden!
O Jesu, we adore Thee
Author: A. T. Russell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, we adore Thee,
Upon the cross, our King:
We bow our hearts before Thee;
Thy gracious Name we sing;
That Name hath brought salvation,
That Name in life our stay,
Our peace, our consolation
When life shall fade away.
2 Yet doth the world disdain Thee,
Still passing by the cross:
Lord, may our hearts retain Thee,
Counting all else but loss.
The grief Thy soul endurèd,
Who can that grief declare?
Thy pains have thus assurèd
That Thou Thy foes wilt spare.
3 Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned Thee,
And nailed Thee to the tree:
Our pride, O Lord, disdained Thee;
Yet deign our hope to be.
O glorious King, we bless Thee,
No longer pass Thee by;
O Jesu, we confess Thee
Our Lord enthroned on high.
Amen. Topics: General; Confession of Christ; Holy Week; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ST. ALKMUND
