Author: George H. Houghton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16631 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Refrain First Line: Jerusalem, Jerusalem Lyrics:
1 Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
It is not to behold
The glory of thy jasper walls,
Thy streets of purest gold;
To see the twelve Apostles’ names
Upon thy bulwark traced;
Thy gates—each one a solid pearl,
By each an angel placed;
Refrain:
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Name ever dear to me,
O may at last my name be found,"
With Christ, my Lord, in Thee.
2 The stream of life from ’neath the throne,
Nor yet that throne to see—
That I would pray, "O may my home
Be found at last in thee !"
No earthly eye I know hath seen
The glories that are thine;
Nor ear hath heard such strains as rise
From ’mid the host divine. [Refrain]
3 But more than all thy streets can boast,
My eager eyes would see
Jesus, the precious Lamb of God,
Who died to ransom me!
"Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Name ever dear to me,
O may at last my name be found"
With Christ, my Lord, in Thee. [Refrain]
