Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 911 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, descending from above, the city of God's presence, the vision of God's love - I know not, O I know not what joys await us there, what radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, all jubilant with song, so bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, the daylight is serene; the tree of life and healing has leaves of richest green. 3 There is the throne of David, and there, from pain released, the shout of those who triumph, the song of those who feast. And all who with their leader have conquered in the fight, forever and forever are robed in purest white. 4 How lovely is that city, the home of God's elect! How beautiful the country that eager hearts expect! O Christ, in mercy bring us to that eternal shore where Father, Son, and Spirit are worshiped evermore.
