Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me

Author: Dickson Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #967 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me; When shall my labors have an end In joy and peace in thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold; Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths never end? 4 Why should I shrink from sin and woe? Or feel, at death, dismay? Jerusalem I soon shall view, In realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; There shall my labors have an end When I thy joys shall see.

Name ever dear to me! Jerusalem, my happy home! Name ever dear to me! When will my sorrow have an end? Thy joys, when shall I see? When will my sorrow have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 Thy walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold; Thy walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold, Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold. 3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant walks My study long have been; Thy gardens and thy pleasant walks My study long have been; Such dazzling views by human sight Have never yet been seen, Such dazzling views by human sight Have never yet been seen. 4 If heaven be thus so, glorious Lord, Why should I stay from thence? If heaven be thus so, glorious Lord, Why should I stay from thence? What folly's this that I should dread To die and go from hence? What folly's this that I should dread To die and go from hence? 5 Reach down, O Lord, Thine arm of grace And cause me to ascend, Reach down, O Lord, Thine arm of grace And cause me to ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And sabbaths never end, Where congregations ne'er break up, And sabbaths never end. 6 Jesus, my Lord, to glory's gone, Him will I go to see; Jesus, my Lord, to glory's gone, Him will I go to see; And all my brethren here below, Will soon come after me, And all my brethren here below, Will soon come after me. 7 My friends, I bid you all adieu, I leave you in God's care; My friends, I bid you all adieu, I leave you in God's care; And if I nevermore see you, Go on, I'll meet you there, And if I nevermore see you, Go on, I'll meet you there.
