Jerusalem the Golden

Jerusalem the golden,With milk and honey blest!Beneath thy contemplationSink heart and voice opprest.I know not, O I know notWhat joys await us there,What radiancy of glory,What bliss beyond compare!

There is the throne of David;And there, from care released,The songs of them that triumph,The shout of them that feast;And they who, with their Leader,Have conquered in the fight,Forever and forever,Are clad in robes of white!

Exult, O dust and ashes!The Lord shall be thy Part;His only, His forever,Thou shalt be and thou art!Jesus, in mercy bring usSoon to that land of rest;Who art, with God the FatherAnd Spirit, ever blest!
