139. The heavenly Jerusalem

1 Jerusalem, my happy home!
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end
In joy, and peace, and thee?

Refrain:
There'll be no sorrow,
There'll be no sorrow,
There'll be no sorrow,
There'll be no sorrow there.

2 O when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbath's have no end? [Refrain]

Why should I shrink at pain and woe?
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day. [Refrain]
