Author: Mrs. M. B. C. Slade Hymnal: The Morning Star #55 (1877) First Line: To the heavenly Jerusalem Refrain First Line: Thro' the open, pearly portals Lyrics: 1 To the heavenly Jerusalem
They are singing, as they go;
And the King thereof shall welcome them,
For He loves, He loves them so.
Chorus:
Thro' the open, pearly portals
Sounds the wondrous new-made song;
And the anthems of immortals
Greet the happy pilgrim throng.
2 In the heavenly Jerusalem,
No more night their souls shall know;
There the Lord's dear face shall shine on them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]
3 In the heavenly Jerusalem,
All their tears shall cease to flow;
No more sorrow, pain, nor death for them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]
4 To that heavenly Jerusalem,
With the pilgrims will you go?
Singing songs of endless praise with them,
For He loves, He loves them so. [Chorus]
Tune Title: [To the heavenly Jerusalem]
Happy pilgrims
