Jerusalem my happy home

1. Jerusalem, my happy home!
Name ever dear to me;
When shall my labours have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2. When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3. Apostles, Martyrs, Prophets there
Around my Saviour stand;
And all I love in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
4. Jerusalem, my happy home!
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my labours have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
5. O Christ do Thou my soul prepare
For that bright home of love;
That I may see Thee and adore,
With all Thy Saints above.
