Words

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 for thee;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.

About this hymn

As printed As printed: hymn number «1404» (large, left), the title «"JERUSALEM, MY GLORIOUS HOME."» in quotes, centred (condensed display capitals and small capitals); «Allegretto.» in italics at the left and «LOWELL MASON.» at the right, over the first system. No meter, no tune name, no author of the words, no reference line. The piece fills PDF 615 (printed 614), PDF 616 (printed 615, running title «"JERUSALEM, MY GLORIOUS HOME."—Continued.») and the four top systems of PDF 617 (printed 616, «—Concluded.»). It is an anthem: the words are printed once, between the staves, with repetitions written out, and in several places a second (or third) line printed for the voices that answer — under the main line for tenor and bass, and in PDF 616 systems 5–6 above the treble staff (soprano) and under the bass staff (bass). The main text is given here in the order of the main line, one verse line per line (the division follows the musical phrases); the other printed lines follow it. Leader dots («joy, . . . .») are not reproduced here (they are in lyrics_syllables.txt). Words printed unbroken under two notes («stormy», «onward», «endless», «ascend», «happier», «Eden's») are whole words here. The print sets a thin space before «!», «?», «;» and «:»; it is closed up here; apostrophes are straight. Spelling and punctuation are the print's («ne'er», «thro'», «I've», «labors», «Oh, when» with a comma, «Jerusalem!» in the first and last sections and «Jerusalem,» in the third).
