1 Jerusalem! my glorious home!
Name ever dear to me!
When, When shall my labors have an end,
In joy, In joy and peace,
In joy, In joy and peace,
In joy, and peace with thee!
Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend:
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end?
There happier bowers than Eden's bloom;
No sin, nor sorrow know;
Blest seats! thro' rude and stormy scenes,
I onward press to you,
I onward press to you, I onward press to you,
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Name ever dear to me!
Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
Jerusalem, my glorious home!
My soul still pants,
My soul still pants for the;
Then, Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joys,
When I thy joys shall see,
thy joys shall see,
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Name ever dear to me!
Name ever dear to me.
