Jerusalem, Thou City Fair and High

Author: Johann M. Meyfart, 1590-1642; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart to thee would gladly fly; It will not stay with me. Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its fountain And leave this world of pain. 2 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, Elijah's chariot comes to carry me Through all these lower skies To yonder shining regions, While down to meet me come The blessed angel legions And bid me welcome home. 3 The patriarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's foll'wers true Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All-glorious as the sun Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise Till heaven's 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! high tower thy glorious walls

Author: Johann M. Meyfart; William R. Whittingham Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: Jerusalem! high tower thy glorious walls, Would God I were in thee! Desire of thee my longing heart enthralls, Desire at home to be: Wide from the world outleaping, O'er hill, and vale, and plain, My soul's strong wing is sweeping, Thy portals to attain. O gladsome day and yet more gladsome hour! When shall that hour have come, When my rejoicing soul its own free power May use in going home? Itself to Jesus giving In trust to his own hand, To dwell among the living In that blest Fatherland. Great fastness thou of honour! thee I greet: Throw wide thy gracious gate, An entrance free to give these longing feet, At last released, though late, From wretchedness and sinning, And life's long, weary way; And now, of God's gift, winning Eternity's bright day. Unnumbered choirs before the Lamb's high throne There shout the jubilee, With loud resounding peal and sweetest tone, In blissful ecstasy: 505 A hundred thousand voices Take up the wondrous song; Eternity rejoices God's praises to prolong.

Jerusalem, Thou City Built On High!

Author: Johann M. Meyfart; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city built on high! Oh that I were in thee: With full desire my heart doth upward fly, Nor longer rests in me. Far over dale and mountain, Far o’er the earth’s wide field, My heart to God ascending, Itself to Him doth yield. 2 O glorious city! thee my spirit hails: Unfold thy gates of grace: With long delay my heart within me fails, For you, pure dwelling place! Forth from this day of evil Life which I scarcely live, I seek that land of promise Which God to me doth give. T3 he elders there and prophets’ noble band, And Christ’s whole company, Who bear the cross’ yoke at His command, For Him prepared to die— I see in joyous freedom, And glory sweeping by: All with bright beams surrounded, As suns they shine on high. 4 When at the last I thither shall ascend To that bright paradise, The joy shall fill my heart that knows no end; Praise from my lips shall rise. The blest their hallelujahs In glory there prolong, And raise their glad hosannas In everlasting song.
