Jerusalem, Thou City Fair and High

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.

Jerusalem, Thou City Fair and High

Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #541 (1996) 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 leave 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 pow'r, 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, Elijah's chariot bears her up to thee, Through all these lower skies To yonder shining regions, While down to meet her come The blessed angel legions And bid her welcome home. 4 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 giv'n the gladness, The heritage, I sought! 5 What glorious throng and what resplendent host Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath set to meet me, As in the far-off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 6 The partiarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's foll'wers true, Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do; I see them shine forever, 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, What songs of bliss shall from my lips arise, What joy my tongue shall tell; While all the saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure hallelujahs ringing Around me evermore! 8 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise Till heaven's glad halls are echoing 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! 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.

True Light, that lightest all in heaven and earth

Author: G. Thring Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #613 (1913) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 True Light, that lightest all in heaven and , Light us Thou Light divine; Children thou mad'st us by a second birth. children, O Lord, of Thine; Heirs of a life undying, The hidden life above, Strong on Thy strength relying, Safe in a Father's love. 2 The earth, erewhile so oft bedewed with tears, Shall be, like man, new-born; The heavens--unrolled through unimagined years-- Be bright with endless morn; No room is there for sorrow, Toll, trouble, want, or care, None anxious for the morrow,-- There is no morrow there. 3 Light there, eternal light and life shall reign O'er all without, within; No stricken soul e'er bow beneath the pain Of unforgotten sing; The day shall have no ending, No night its shadows cast, All present gladness blending With gladness in the past. 4 We darkly now, as in a mirror, see These wondrous worlds on high; Help us, O Lord, to live our life in Thee, The life that cannot die; Till heavenward ever soaring, By Thy redeeming grace, Before Thy throne adoring We see Thee face to face.
