Going home

Appears in 848 hymnals First Line: Jerusalem, my happy home Refrain First Line: We're going home, we're going home Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, O how I long for thee! When will my sorrows have an end, The joys when shall I see? Chorus: We're going home, we're going home, We're going home to live forever. 2 Thy walls are all of precious stones, Most glorious to behold; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold. [Chorus] 3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant greens My study long have been; Such sparkling gems by human sight Have never yet been seen. [Chorus] 4 If heaven be thus glorious, Lord, Why should I stay from thence? What folly 'tis that I should dread To die and go from hence! [Chorus] 5 When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've not less days to sing God's praise, Then when we first begun. [Chorus] Used With Tune: GOING HOME

Saint Augustine

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Author of "We're going home, we're going home" in New Christian Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
