1
Jerusalem on high
My song that city is
My home whene’er I die
The center of my bliss
O happy place When shall I be
My God with Thee To see Thy face
2
There dwells my Lord my king
Judged here unfit to live
There angels to Him sing
And lowly homage give
O happy place when shall I be
My God with Thee to see Thy face
3
The patriarchs of old
There from their travels cease
The prophets there behold
Their longed for Prince of Peace
O happy place when shall I be
My God with Thee to see Thy face
4
The Lamb’s apostles there
I might with joy behold
The harpers I might hear
Hrping on harps of gold
O happy place when shall I be
My God with Thee to see Thy face
5
The bleeding martyrs they
Within those courts are found
Clothèd in pure array
Their scars with glory crowned
O happy place when shall I be
My God with Thee to see Thy face
6
Ah me ah me that I
In Kedar’s tent here stay
No place like that on high
Lord thither guide my way
O happy place when shall I be
My God with Thee to see Thy face
