1
O what their joy and their glory must be
Those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see
Crown for the valiant to weary ones rest
God shall be all and in all ever blessed
2
What are the Monarch His court and His throne
What are the peace and the joy that they own
O that the blessed ones who in it have share
All that they feel could as fully declare!
3
Truly Jerusalem name we that shore
City of peace that brings joy evermore
Wish and fulfillment are not severed there
Nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer
4
There where no troubles distraction can bring
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing
While for Thy grace Lord their voices of praise
Thy blessèd people eternally raise
5
There dawns no Sabbath no Sabbath is o’er
Those Sabbath keepers have one evermore
One and unending is that triumph song
Which to the angels and us shall belong
6
Now in the meanwhile with hearts raised on high
We for that country must yearn and must sigh
Seeking Jerusalem dear native land
Through our long exile on Babylon’s strand
7
Low before Him with our praises we fall
Of whom and in whom and through whom are all
Of whom the Father and in whom the Son
Through whom the Spirit with Them ever One
