Author: Johann Matthäus Meyfart, 1590-1642 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #355b (1901) 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 O 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 me with guidance tender To heaven my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright 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 naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, And th'heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blesséd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

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 naught, And God had giv'n the gladness, The heritage, I sought! 5 What glorious throng and what resplendent host Comes sweeping swiftly down?

Jerusalem! high tower thy glorious walls

Author: Johann M. Meyfart; William R. Whittingham Hymnal: The Hymnal #543a (1916) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 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.
