Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #396 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Heavenly Jerusalem,
Of everlasting halls,
Thrice blessed are the people
Thou storest in Thy walls.
2 Thou art the golden mansion,
Where saints for ever sing,
The seat of God's own chosen,
The palace of the King.
3 There God for ever sitteth,
Himself of all the crown;
The Lamb, the Light that shineth,
And never goeth down.
4 Nought to this seat approacheth
Their sweet peace to molest;
They sing their God for ever,
Nor day nor night they rest.
5 Sure hope doth thither lead us;
Our longings thither tend;
May short-lived toil ne'er daunt us
For joys that cannot end.
6 To Christ, the Sun that lightens
His Church above, below;
To Father, and to Spirit
All things created bow. Topics: General Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
