Jerusalem the Glorious
{ Jerusalem the Glorious! GREENLAND-Johann Michael Haydn MIRIAM-John P. Holbrook Jerusalem, the Glorious! } Jerusalem, the glorious! Then glory of th' elect, O dear and future vision That eager hearts expect! Ev'n now by faith I see thee, Ev'n here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, And strive, and pant, and yearn! O noen call tell Thy bulwarks, How gloriously they rise; O none can tell thy capitals Of beautiful device: Thy loveliness oppresses All human thought and heart: And none, O peace, O Zion, Can sing thee as thou art. Jerusalem, exulting On that securest shore, I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, And love thee evermore! O sweet and blessed country Shall I ever see thy face? O sweet and blessed country, Shall I ever win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless! Shall I ever win the prize itself? O tell me, tell me, yes! Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part; His only, His forever, Thou shalt be, and thou art! |
