Jerusalem the Golden.
JERUSALEM the golden!
With milk and honey blest;
Beneath Thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, oh! I know not
What joys await us there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
They stand, those halls of Sion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng:
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
There is the throne of David;
And there from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
And they, who with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white.
O sweet and blessed country,
The Home of God's elect
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesu, In mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.
