Jerusalem, my happy home

1

Jerusalem, my happy home,O, how I long for thee!When will my sorrows have an end?Thy joys when shall I see?

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.

3

Thy garden and thy pleasant walksMy study long have been;Such dazzling views, by human sightHave never yet been seen.

4

Lord, help us by thy mighty graceTo keep in view the prizeTill thou dost come to take us homeTo that blest paradise.
