Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century; John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #214 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest --
The sight of it refreshes
The weary and oppressed.
I know not, oh, 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
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them;
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are ever rich and green.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
And they who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 Oh, sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
You are with God the Father
And Spirit ever blest. Topics: End Time; End Time Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
