Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #656 (2004) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blest,
beneath your contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, oh I know not
what social joys are there,
what radiancy of glory,
what light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
conjubilant with song,
and bright with many an angel,
and all the martyr throng:
the Prince is ever in them;
the daylight is serene;
the pastures of the blessed
are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
and there, from pain released,
the shout of them that triumph,
the song of them that feast;
and they who, with their Leader,
have conquered in the fight,
for ever and for ever
are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
the home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
that eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
to that dear land of rest,
with God the Father reigning,
and Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Scripture: Revelation 7:14 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
