Jerusalem, O City Fair and High
Author: Johann Matthäus Meyfart, 1590-1642; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #674 (2006) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, O city fair and high,
Your tow'rs I yearn to see;
My longing heart to you would gladly fly.
It will not stay with me.
Elijah's chariot take me
Above the lower skies,
To heaven's bliss awake me,
Released from earthly ties.
2 O happy day, O yet far happier hour,
When will you come at last,
When by my gracious Father's love and pow'r
I see that portal vast?
From heaven's shining regions
To greet me gladly come
Your blessed angel legions
To bid me welcome home.
3 The patriarchs' and prophets' noble train,
With all Christ's foll'wers true,
Who washed their robes and cleansed sin's guilty stain,
Sing praises ever new!
I see them shine forever,
Resplendent as the sun,
In light diminished never,
Their glorious freedom won.
4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise
Till heaven's arches echo 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, O City Fair and High
Jerusalem, Thou City Fair And High
Author: Johann M. Meyfart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8961 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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 Heav’n, her fatherland.
3 A moment’s space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,
The fiery chariot bears her up to thee
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
While down to meet her come
The blessèd angel legions,
And bid her welcome home.
4 Oh hail thou glorious city! Now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had giv’n the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
5 Oh what the nation, 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
Till Heav’n’s glad halls are echoing with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessèd throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song! Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM
Jerusalem, Thou City Fair And High
Jerusalem, Thou City Built On High!
Author: Johann M. Meyfart; Arthur T. Russell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9646 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM
Jerusalem, Thou City Built On High!
Jerusalem! High Tow'r Thy Glorious Walls
Author: Johann M. Meyfart; William R. Whittingham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14751 Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: Jerusalem! high tow’r thy glorious walls! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! high tow’r 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 out-leaping,
O’er hill and vale and plain,
My soul’s strong wing is sweeping,
Thy portals to attain.
2 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.
3 A moment’s time, the twinkling of an eye
Shall be enough, to soar
In buoyant exultation, through the sky
And reach the heav’nly shore.
Elijah’s chariot bringing
The homeward traveler there;
Glad troops of angels winging
It onward through the air.
4 Great fastness thou of honor! 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.
5 What throng is this, what noble troop, that pours,
Arrayed in beauteous guise,
Out through the glorious city’s open doors,
To greet my wondering eyes?
The host of Christ’s elected,
The jewels that He bears
In His own crown, selected
To wipe away my tears.
6 Of prophets great, and patriarchs high, a band
That once has borne the cross,
With all the company that won that land,
By counting gain for loss,
Now float in freedom’s lightness,
From tyrant’s chains set free;
And shine like suns in brightness,
Arrayed to welcome me.
7 One more at last arrived they welcome there,
To beauteous paradise;
Where sense can scarce its full fruition bear
Or tongue for praise suffice;
Glad hallelujahs ringing
With rapturous rebound,
And rich hosannahs singing
Eternity’s long round.
8 Unnumbered choirs before the Lamb’s high throne
There shout the jubilee,
With loud resounding peal and sweetest tone,
In blissful ecstasy;
A hundred thousand voices
Take up the wondrous song;
Eternity rejoices
God’s praises to prolong.
