Jerusalem, My Happy Home
Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green:
There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels be,
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant that I may see
Thine endless joy, and of the same
Partaker ever be!
~Words: Joseph Bromehead & Music: Edward Clark
