1. Jerusalem, the golden! O city of the blessed! 

O heav’nly land of promise, the weary pilgrim’s rest 

safe through the thorny journey, set free from strife of sin,

within the walls of jasper, the pearly gates within.

2. What peace beyond all telling! What joy for them whose feet

stand by the crystal river and walk the golden street!

With boughs of palm, like victors arrayed in robes of white,

with hymns of glad thanksgiving, they throng the halls of light.

3. They thirst not, neither hunger, who gain that bright abode, 

with oil of love anointed as kings and priests to God.

O clear and blessed vision the seer of Patmos tells!

What glad and hopeful tidings the prophet’s voice reveals!



Verse_Lyric: 4
4. Behold, the tabernacle of God is now with men,

and He will dwell among them, and heal their grief and pain.

And he that overcometh shall be the Father’s heir

within that glorious city and dwell forever there.
