Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694-1764; Victor O. Petersen, 1864-1929 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4242 Lyrics: 1. My heart is yearning ever To reach a place of rest. Jerusalem, my happy home, In thee my heart shall never By sin or grief be pressed. My heart is yearning ever To reach that city bright. 2. Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear; God’s city bright gives all delight, No grief nor wail or mortals Is where the Lamb is near; Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. 3. Their blessèd Lord and Savior Doth rule and govern them In peace and joy, without alloy, For sin can enter never The new Jerusalem; Their blessèd Lord and Savior Doth rule and govern them. 4. Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar. O city of the God of love, Where no more earthly worry My happiness shall mar! Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar. 5. And even I shall conquer In Jesus’ name and might; Tho’ weak and faint, still as a saint I’ll in the haven anchor, Sweet haven of delight. Yea, even I shall conquer In Jesus’ name and might.
