Jerusalem the Golden

What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them, My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints, They stand, those hall of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white!

O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete: "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen.
