Author: Rev. M. L. Hofford Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #33 (1885) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the beautiful! Its glories are untold; Its walls are built of precious stones, Its pavements made of gold; Its mansions for the ransomed ones In matchless splendor shine; Jerusalem, the beautiful! Jerusalem, divine. 2 Jerusalem, the beautiful! Its gates of pearly white, To voice of prayer and song of praise, Are open day and night; And shining ones around the throne In sweeter rapture sing;— Jerusalem, the beautiful! When saints their tribute bring. 3 Jerusalem, the beautiful! My everlasting rest! My glorious home, the saints’ above, The city of the blest; The temple of the Holy One, Thy light is all divine; Jerusalem, the beautiful! I love to call thee mine.
