Jerusalem, my Happy Home

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 848 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee. 2 When shall these eyes thy heavenbuilt walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see. Amen. Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: MACFARREN Text Sources: Composite

Oh, that warning cry obey, Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His word is never broken.

The smallest sin I then wold fear, If God Almighty were so near. 3 And does He never speak? Oh, yes, for in His Word He bids me come to seek The God that Samuel heard. And every sin I well may fear, Since God Almighty is so near. 4 Like Samuel let us say, Whene'er we read His Word, "Speak, Lord, I would obey The voice that Samuel heard; And when I in Thy hose appear, Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear."
