Jerusalem the Golden { Jerusalem the Golden EWING-Alexander C. Ewing, 1830-1895 PEARSALL-Robert Lucas de Pearsall, 1795-1856 Jerusalem the Golden } Jerusalem, the golden! With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest I know not, oh, I know not What holy joys are there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilee with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng, There is the throne of David; And there from toil released; The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast And they who with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and ever Are clad in robes of white O land that seest no sorrow! O state that fearest no strife! O royal land of flowers! O realm and home of life! O sweet and blessed country! The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest: Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit ever blest!
