Author: St Bernard of Cluny (12th century); John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #340 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Year A All Saints' Day Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blest,
beneath thy contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, ah, I know not
what joys await us there,
what radiancy of glory,
what bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and bright with many angels,
and all the martyr throng;
the prince is ever in them,
the daylight is serene;
the pastures of the blessèd
are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
and there, from care released,
the shout of them that triumph,
the song of them that feast;
and they, who with their leader
have fully run the race,
are robed in white for ever
before their Saviour's face.
4 O sweet and blessèd country,
the home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessèd country
that eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
to that dear land of rest;
who art, with God the Father
and Spirit, ever blest. Scripture: Luke 1:32 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
