429- Jerusalem the Golden

Doctrines: Eternal Life

1

  • Jerusalem the golden,
  • With milk and honey blest,
  • Beneath thy contemplation
  • Sink heart and voice oppressed.
  • I know not, O I know not
  • What holy joys are there;
  • What radiancy of glory,
  • What bliss beyond compare.

2

  • They stand, those halls of Zion,
  • All jubilant 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 care released,
  • The shout of them that triumph,
  • The song of them that feast;
  • And they who, with their Leader,
  • Have conquered in the fight,
  • Forever and forever
  • 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;
  • Who art, with God the Father,
  • And Spirit, ever blest.
