  1. 1Jerusalem! my happy home!
  2. Name ever dear to me!
  3. When shall my labors have an end,
  4. In joy and peace and Thee?
  5. 2When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls
  6. And pearly gates behold?
  7. Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
  8. And streets of shining gold?
  9. 3Oh, when, thou city of my God,
  10. Shall I thy courts ascend,
  11. Where congregations ne'er break up
  12. And Sabbaths have no end?
  13. 4There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
  14. Nor sin nor sorrow know;
  15. Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes
  16. I onward press to you.
  17. 5Why should I shrink at pain and woe?
  18. Or feel at death dismay?
  19. I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
  20. And realms of endless day.
  21. 6Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
  22. Around my Saviour stand;
  23. And soon my friends in Christ below
  24. Will join the glorious band.
  25. 7Jerusalem! my happy home!
  26. My soul still pants for thee;
  27. Then shall my labors have an end,
  28. When I thy joys shall see.
  29. 8Amen.
