LyicsJerusalem, my happy home,
O how I long for thee!
When will my sorrows have an end,
Thy joys when shall I see?
We're going home, we're going home
We're going home, to live forever.
Thy walls are all of precious stone,
Most glorious to behold;
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold.
Thy gardens and thy pleasant greens,
My study long have been;
Such sparkling gems by human sight
Have never yet been seen.
If heaven be thus glorious, Lord,
Why should I stay from thence?
What folly's this, that I should dread
To die, and go from hence?
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.
