1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplations
Sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, oh, I know not
What joys await me there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
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 blessèd
Are decked in glorious sheen.
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
For ever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
Amen.
