The New Jerusalem

Author: Daniel Otis Teasley Meter: 7.7.11.7.7.11 with refrain Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: To Jerusalem the new Refrain First Line: Jerusalem, O Jerusalem Lyrics: 1 To Jerusalem the new Come the tried and faithful few Back to Zion’s golden glory once again; Highest praise our tongues employ, With the everlasting joy, Now a thousand voices swell the glad refrain. Refrain: Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, Blessed city where no darkness ever falls; Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, Joy and peace forever be within thy walls. 2 Often have we heard of thee, Blessed city of the free; But our fathers sang thy glory far away, Teaching us that only there, In that world so bright and fair, Could we hope to see thy blessed golden day. [Refrain] 3 With thy walls of jasper bright, Sparkling in the radiant light, Blessed city of our God, we come to thee; Through thy pearly gates ajar Come the ransomed from afar, Hear again the joyful songs of jubilee. [Refrain] 4 On the trees our harps we hung, Zion’s songs were left unsung By the rivers sat we weeping all the day; Now our harps we tune again, Sing the everlasting strain, Now our mourning, sorrow, sighing flee away. [Refrain] 5 Now we reach the evening light, Robed in shining garments white, We return to where the saints of yore have trod; Flee we now from Babel’s fall, For we’ve heard the Savior’s call To Jerusalem the living Church of God. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [To Jerusalem the new]
