339. Jerusalem, my happy home

1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
name ever dear to me,
when shall my labours have an end?
thy joys when shall I see?

2 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
around my Saviour stand;
and all I love in Christ below
will join the glorious band.

3 Jerusalem, my happy home,
when shall I come to thee?
When shall my labours have an end?
thy joys when shall I see?

4 O Christ, do thou my soul prepare
for that bright home of love;
that I may see thee and adore,
with all thy saints above.
