Jerusalem, --Altísima ciudad
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #195 (1863) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics:
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly,
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain
And quit this world of pain.
Oh happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her with guidance tender
To heaven her fatherland.
221
A moment's space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,
The fiery car shall bear her up to thee
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
While down to meet her come
The blessed angel legions,
And bid her welcome home.
Oh Zoin, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I long'd for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
Oh what the tribe, or what the glorious host,
Comes sweeping swiftly down?
The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most,
The Church's brightest crown,
Our Lord hath sent to meet me,
As in the far-off years
Their words oft came to greet me
In yonder land of tears.
The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train,
With all Christ's followers true,
Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain
That tyrants dared to do,
I see them shine for ever,
All-glorious as the sun,
'Mid light that fadeth never,
Their perfect freedom won.
And when within that lovely Paradise
At last I safely dwell,
From out my blissful soul what songs shall rise,
What joy my lips shall tell,
While holy saints are singing
Hosannas o'er and o'er,
Pure Hallelujahs ringing
Around me evermore.
Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
Till Heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song!

Jerusalem, Thou City Fair And High
Jerusalén, altísima ciudad
Author: Johann Matthäus Meyfart, 1590-1642; Federico Fliedner, 1845-1901 Hymnal: Culto Cristiano #343 (1964) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalén, altísima ciudad,
¡Quién residiera en ti!
Mi corazón subir en libertad
Ansía desde aquí
Huyendo de este suelo
De luto, penas, hiel,
Veloz remonta al cielo,
Dejando el mundo infiel.
2 ¡Día feliz, hora esperada, ven!
Pues a juntarme voy
Con mi Jesús mi Salvador, mi bien,
A quien el alma doy.
Allá sus pías manos
Mi espíritu alzarán
A la mansión de hermanos,
Celeste Canaán.
3 Corro veloz, a coronar mi sien,
Al trono celestial.
Pena y dolor jamás allí se ven,
Más bien gozo eternal.
Los ángeles rodean
Mi carro triunfador;
Sus himnos vitorean
Al fuerte vencedor.
4 ¡Oh bella Sion!, yo te saludo al fin.
Aquí dispuesta está
Mi habitación, de Edén feraz jardín,
Que eternas flores da.
Sin velo y nieblas veo
Todo en realidad:
¡Oh mi Señor!, poseo
Tu reino en heredad.
5 ¡Qué procesión! ¡Cuán noble multitud
Sale a mi encuentro ya!
Los que adornó nobleza, amor, virtud
En ese mundo allá,
Mandólos velozmente
A coronarse el rey,
Estando aún ausente
Yo con la humilde grey.
6 Triunfantes van: junto al patriarca fiel,
El confesor viril,
Y el que murió en el suplicio cruel . . .
De mártires cien mil.
Ahora rodeados
Están de luz y honor
Cual soles coronados
De celestial fulgor.
7 Al nuevo Edén o logro al fin llegar,
A tan feliz mansión
Do hosannas mil resuenan sin cesar
En plácida canción.
El regocijo llena
De paz mi corazón,
Donde aleluya suena
Del arpa al dulce son.
8 De coros mil potente vibra el son
Cual estruendoso mar.
¡Loor al rey! El templo de su Sion
Trepida al resonar
El majestuoso canto
Que la hueste inmortal
Da al Dios tres veces santo
En gozo perennal.
