Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #527 (1991) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Baptist Hymnal 1991 Lyrics: 1. Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await me there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2. They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many angels,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3. O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, His forever,
Thou shalt be, and thou art! Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
