1 Jerusalem, the glorious!
The glory of the elect,
O dear and future vision
That eager hearts expect!
Ev'n now by faith I see thee,
Ev'n here thy walls discern;
To thee my thoughts are kindled,
And strive, and pant, and yearn!
2 The Cross is all thy splendor,
The Crucified, thy praise;
His land and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise;
Jerusalem! exulting
On that secured shore,
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,
And love thee evermore!
3 O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed Country!
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, his for ever,
Thou shalt be, and thou art!
