Jerusalem! my happy home!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #590 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Heaven as a heavenly home; Heaven as Home Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home!
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end,
In joy and peace and Thee?

And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up
And Sabbaths have no end?
4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes
I onward press to you.
5 why should I shrink at pain and woe?
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there,
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.

My soul still pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end
When I Thy joys shall see. Languages: English

Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow;
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
2 There is a land of peace,
Good angels know it well:
Glad songs that never cease
Within its portals swell;
Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father One,
And Spirit, evermore.
3 O joy all joys beyond,
To see the Lamb who died,
And count each sacred wound
In hands, and feet, and side;
To give to Him the praise
Of every triumph won,
And sing through endless days
The great things He hath done!
4 Look up, ye saints of God,
Nor fear to tread below
The path your Savior trod
Of daily toil and woe;
Wait but a little while
In uncomplaining love,
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above. Tune Title: [There is a blessed home]

The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea,
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.

The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith’s journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart’s true home, will come at last.

Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.

Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love.

Would God I were in thee!

Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its fountain,
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day and yet far happier hour,
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her with guidance tender
To heaven, her fatherland.

Released from earthly ties,
The fiery car shall bear her up to Thee,
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
While down to meet her come
The blessed angel legions,
And bid her welcome home.

The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.

Their joyful anthems raise,
Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song! Tune Title: [Jerusalem, thou city fair and high]

Toll, trouble, want, or care,
None anxious for the morrow,--
There is no morrow there.
3 Light there, eternal light and life shall reign
O'er all without, within;
No stricken soul e'er bow beneath the pain
Of unforgotten sing;
The day shall have no ending,
No night its shadows cast,
All present gladness blending
With gladness in the past.
4 We darkly now, as in a mirror, see
These wondrous worlds on high;
Help us, O Lord, to live our life in Thee,
The life that cannot die;
Till heavenward ever soaring,
By Thy redeeming grace,
Before Thy throne adoring
We see Thee face to face. Tune Title: [True Light, that lightest all in heaven and earth]

Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

Home of my soul, how near,
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
Thy golden gates appear!

To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!

O Father, if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en here to me fulfill.
6 Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
7 So when my dying breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
To life eternal gain.

And all its tribes were made;

On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.

Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign:
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior, come! Tune Title: [Ten thousand times ten thousand]

Thy happy name, they weep.

Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness,

And smiles have no alloy;
The Lamb is all thy splendor,
The Crucified thy praise;
His laud and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise.

Thy streets with emeralds blaze;
The sardius and the topaz
Unite in thee their rays;
Thine ageless walls are bonded
With amethyst unpriced;
The saints build up thy fabric,
And the corner-stone is Christ.

They raise thy holy tower;
Thine is the victor's laurel,
And Thine the golden dower.

But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;

And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;

Shall then be seen and known;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.
The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
4 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
There God, our king and portion,
In fullness of His grace,
Shall we behold for ever,
And worship face to face.

The Home Over There
There is a land of pure delight
Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #611 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger trembling on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With faith's illumined eyes:
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Tune Title: [There is a land of pure delight]
There is a land of pure delight

Holy—hear ye nations—
Are the Three in One. [Refrain]

Great imperial King;
Let his hosts adore him,
Rev’rence, homage bring.
Gracious God of mercy,
Lofty as thou art,
Thou dost condescend to
Dwell within man’s heart. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Holy is the Bible, Holy is the Lord]
