Jerusalem, Thou City Fair and High

Author: Johann Matthäus Meyfart, 1590-1642 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast. My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender To heaven my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city now unfold The gates of grace to me How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, And th'heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blesséd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

Jerusalem, Thou City Built On High!

Author: Johann M. Meyfart; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city built on high! Oh that I were in thee: With full desire my heart doth upward fly, Nor longer rests in me. Far over dale and mountain, Far o’er the earth’s wide field, My heart to God ascending, Itself to Him doth yield. 2 O glorious city! thee my spirit hails: Unfold thy gates of grace: With long delay my heart within me fails, For you, pure dwelling place! Forth from this day of evil Life which I scarcely live, I seek that land of promise Which God to me doth give. T3 he elders there and prophets’ noble band, And Christ’s whole company, Who bear the cross’ yoke at His command, For Him prepared to die— I see in joyous freedom, And glory sweeping by: All with bright beams surrounded, As suns they shine on high. 4 When at the last I thither shall ascend To that bright paradise, The joy shall fill my heart that knows no end; Praise from my lips shall rise. The blest their hallelujahs In glory there prolong, And raise their glad hosannas In everlasting song.
