    Jerusalem on high

    my song and city is,


    my home whene'er I die,
    the center of my bliss;
    Refrain:
    O happy place!
    When shall I be,
    my God, with thee,
    to see thy face?
    There dwells my Lord, my King,
    judged here unfit to live
    there angels to him sing,
    and lowly homage give: Refrain
    The patriarchs of old
    there from their travels cease;
    the prophets there behold
    their longed-for Prince of Peace. Refrain
    The Lamb's apostles there
    I might with joy behold,
    the harpers I might hear
    harping on harps of gold: Refrain
    The bleeding martyrs, they
    within those courts are found,
    all clothed in pure array,
    their scars with glory crowned: Refrain
    Ah woe is me! that I
    in Kedar's tents here stay;
    no place like that on high;
    Lord, thither guide my way. Refrai
