LyicsJerusalem, Jerusalem!
Enthroned once on high,
Thou favoured home of God on earth;
Thou heav'n below the sky!
Now brought to bondage with thy sons,
A blighting curse to see,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Our tears shall flow for thee.
O, hadst thou known thy day of grace,
And flock'd beneath the wing
Of him who called thee lovingly,
Thine own anointed King;
Then had the tribes of all the earth
Gone up thy bliss to see;
And glory dwelt within thy gates,
And all thy sons been free.
Thy day of grace is sunk in night;
Thy time of mercy spent;
For heavy was thy children's crime,
And sore their punishment!
O! might that day again return,
And gild thy desert clime;
Then wouldst thou seek thy Saviour's face,
In that accepted time.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
The promised hour draws nigh,
When all thy woes shall have an end,
In joy and victory!
Soon shall thy darkness dissipate;
Thy Saviour thou shalt see;
Glory shall dwell within thy gates,
And all thy sons be free.
