15916. Jerusalem The Beautiful!

1 Jerusalem the beautiful!
Its glories are untold;
Its walls are built of precious stones,
Its pavements made of gold;
Its mansions for the ransomed ones
In matchless splendor shine;
Jerusalem, the beautiful!
Jerusalem divine!

2 Jerusalem the beautiful!
Its gates of pearly white,
To voice of prayer and song of praise
Are open day and night;
And shining ones around the throne
In sweeter raptures sing;
Jerusalem, the beautiful!
Where saints their tributes bring.

3 Jerusalem, the beautiful!
My everlasting rest!
My glorious home, the saints’ abode,
The city of the blest;
The temple of the Holy One,
Thy light is all divine;
Jerusalem, the beautiful!
I love to call thee mine.
