¡Jerusalén, hogar feliz

Representative Text

1 ¡Jerusalén, hogar feliz,
Sagrado para mí!
Mis penas ¿cuándo cambiaré
Por gozo y paz en ti?

2 Y ¿cuándo, ¡oh casa de mi Dios!
Tus atrios pisaré?
Y ¿cuándo allí, ¡oh Salvador!,
Tu gloria cantaré?

3 Profetas miles hay allá,
Que adoran a Jesús;
Apóstoles y mártires
Disfrutan de su luz.

4 Muy pronto yo también iré
A ti, dichoso hogar,
La gracia de mi amado rey
Con ellos a alabar.

5 Jerusalén, hogar feliz,
Morada para mí:
Mis penas todas cambiaré
Por gozo y paz e ti.
