Jerusalem, my happy home

by Anonymous

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 420.

Verse 1

Jerusalem, my happy home, O how I long for thee! When will my sorrows have an end, The joys when shall I see?

Verse 2

The walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold.

Verse 3

Thy garden and thy pleasant walks My study long have been; Such dazzling views by human sight Have never yet been seen.

Verse 4

Lord, help us by Thy mighty grace, To keep in view the prize, Till Thou dost come to take us home To that blessed paradise.
