Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #587a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of the saints,
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
4 Quite through the streets with silver sound
The flood of life doth flow,
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow.
5 There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit,
And evermore do sing.
6 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see! Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Church The House of God; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST
