Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #684 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
name ever dear to me,
when shall my labours have an end,
thy joys when shall I see?
2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls
and pearly gates behold,
thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
and streets of shining gold?
3 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
around my Saviour stand;
and all I love in Christ below
will join the glorious band.
4 Jerusalem, my happy home,
when shall I come to thee?
When shall my labours have an end,
thy joys when shall I see?
5 O Christ, do thou my soul prepare
for that bright home of love;
that I may see thee and adore,
with all thy saints above. Topics: Communion of Saints; Future hope; Heaven; Longing; Martyrs; Prophets; Saints Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (Irons)
