Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: Joseph Bromehead; F. B. P. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 848 hymnals Lyrics: Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labours have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 469 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. Why should I shrink from pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Savior stand: And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labours have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Topics: The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL

O for a Shout of Sacred Joy

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 207 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O for a shout of sacred joy To God the sov’reign King! Let ev’ry land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing. 2. Jesus our God ascends on high, His heav’nly guards around Attend Him rising through the sky, With trumpets’ joyful sound. 3. While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains; Let all the earth His honors sing; O’er all the earth He reigns. 4. Rehearse His praise with awe profound, Let knowledge lead the song, Nor mock Him with a solemn sound Upon a thoughtless tongue. 5. In Israel stood His ancient throne, He loved that chosen race; But now He calls the world His own, And heathens taste His grace. 6. The British islands are the Lord’s, There Abraham’s God is known; While powers and princes, shields and swords, Submit before His throne.
