"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#53

53. Jerusalem

1 Jesus, my all to heav’n is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I’ll pursue The narrow way till Him I view. Chorus: I’m on my journey home to the new Jerusalem, I’m on my journey home to the new Jerusalem, So fare you well, So fare you well, So fare you well, I am going home. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King’s highway of holiness I’ll go, for all His paths are peace. [Chorus] 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. [Chorus] 4 Then will I tell to sinners ’round, What a dear Savior I have found; I’ll point to Thy redeeming blood, And say, “Behold the way to God.” [Chorus] 5 Lo! glad I come, and Thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to Thee, whose I am; Nothing but sin have I to give, Nothing but love shall I receive. [Chorus]
