Jerusalem Divine

Author: Benjamin Rhodes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3240 Lyrics: 1. Jerusalem divine, When shall I call thee mine? And to thy holy hill attain, Where weary pilgrims rest, And in thy glories blest, With God Messiah ever reign? 2. There saints and angels join In fellowship divine, And rapture swells the solemn lay, While all with one accord, Adore their precious Lord, And shout His praise in endless day. 3. May I but find the grace To fill a humble place In that inheritance above; My tuneful voice I’ll raise In songs of loudest praise, To spread Thy fame, Redeeming Love! 4. Reign, true Messiah, reign! Thy kingdom shall remain When stars and sun no more shall shine; Mysterious Deity, Who ne’er began to be, To sound Thy endless praise be mine! Languages: English Tune Title: CRUSADER'S HYMN

Benjamin Rhodes

1743 - 1815 Author of "Jerusalem Divine" in The Cyber Hymnal Rhodes, Benjamin, born at Mexborough, Yorkshire, in 1743, was brought under the influence of religion by the preaching of George Whitefield in 1766. He was the son of a schoolmaster, and received the elements of a good education in his youth. He was for many years a Wesleyan Minister, having been sent forth to preach by John Wesley. He died at Margate Oct. 13, 1815. To Joseph Benson's Hymns for Children and Young Persons, 1806, and his Hymns for Children selected chiefly from the publications of the Rev. John and Charles Wesley, and Dr. Watts, &c, 1814 (an additional volume to the first, and sometimes bound up with it), he contributed several hymns. Very few of these are now in common use. They include "Children, your parents' will obey" (Duty towards Parents), "Come, let us join our God to praise" (Praise), and "Thou shalt not steal thy neighbour's right" (Against Stealing.) His best known hymn is "My heart and voice I raise" (The Kingdom of Christ). It appeared as stanza i. of his poem Messiah, 1787, pt. ii. being “Jerusalem divine." Each part is in use as a separate hymn. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
