Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: Anon. Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
O, how I long for thee!
When will my sorrows have an end?

Most glorious to behold;
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold.
3 Thy garden and thy pleasant walks
My study long have been;
Such dazzling views, by human sight
Have never yet been seen.

Jerusalem, my happy home
Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #302 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Refrain First Line: Home, sweet home, my long sought home Lyrics:
1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Oh how I long for thee!
When will my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
Chorus:
Home, sweet home, my long sought home,
My home in heaven above.
2 Thy walls are all of precious stone,
Most glorious to behold!
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold. [Chorus]
3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant greens,
My study long have been;
Such sparkling light, by human sight,
Has never yet been seen. [Chorus]
4 If heaven be thus glorious, Lord,
Why should I stay from thence:
What folly 'tis that I should dread
To die and go from hence! [Chorus]
5 Reach down, reach down, thine arm of grace,
And cause me to ascend
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths never end. [Chorus]
6 Jesus, my Lord, to glory's gone;
Him will I go and see;
And all my brethren, here below,
Will soon come after me. [Chorus]
7 My friends, I bid you all adieu!
I leave you in God's care;
And if I never more see you,
Go on,—I'll meet you there. [Chorus]
8 There we shall meet and no more part,
And heaven shall ring with praise;
While Jesus' love, in every heart,
Shall tune the song free grace. [Chorus]
9 And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,
What heights of rapture shall we know
When round the throne we meet! [Chorus]
10 Millions of years around may run—
Our songs shall still go on,
To praise the Father and the Son,
And Spirit, Three in One.[Chorus]

That started singing schools in various parts of the city, and eventually resulted in music festivals, held at the Broadway Tabernacle, a prominent city event. He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books. In 1851, with his brother, Edward, he began manufacturring Bradbury pianos, which became popular. Also, he had a small office in one of his warehouses in New York and often went there to spend time in private devotions. As a professor, he edited 59 books of sacred and secular music, much of which he wrote. He attended the Presbyterian church in Bloomfield, NJ, for many years later in life.
