The Little Minstrel ‎#68

68. Owen

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

Chorus:
Home, home, sweet home, my happy home,
My home with Christ in heaven.

2 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know,
Blest seats, through rude and stormy scenes,
I onward press to you. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 Jerusalem, my happy home,
My soul still pants for thee,
Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joys shall see. [Chorus]
