Text: | Jerusalem, My Happy Home |
Author: | F. B. P. |
Tune: | LAND OF REST |
1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Your joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of the saints,
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In you no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
3 Your gardens and your gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and pleasant flow'rs
As nowhere else are seen.
4 There, trees forevermore bear fruit
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit
And evermore do sing!
5 Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant that I may see
Your endless joy, and of the same
Partaker ever be!
