429 Jerusalem the Golden
[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.

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.

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.

The home of God s elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!

To that dear land of rest;
Who art with God the Father
And Spirit ever blest.
