Hymn 368 – JERUSALEM, my happy home | C&S English Hymnary

1. JERUSALEM, my happy home Name ever dear to me! When shall my labours have an end in joy, and peace, in Thee? 2. When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold Thy bulwarks with salvation strong. And streets of shinning gold? 3. There happier bowers than Eden‘s bloom Nor sin, nor sorrow know Blest seats, through rude and stormy scenes. I onward press to you. 4. 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. 5. Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stood And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6. Jerusalem, my happy home My soul still pants for thee! Then shall my labours have an end, When I thy joy shall see AMEN
