Jerusalem, my happy home

Thy joys when shall I see? 2 O happy harbor of the saints, O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 4 Quite through the streets with silver sound The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side The wood of life doth grow. 5 There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels sit, And evermore do sing. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS) Text Sources: Based on St. Augustine, F. B. P., cir. XVI cent.
