Jerusalem, the Golden Hymn by Bernard of Cluny Translated by John Mason Neale Tune by Alexander C. Ewing
Jerusalem, the Golden 1. Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, O I know not What joys await me there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare.
Jerusalem, the Golden 2. They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many angels, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen.
Jerusalem, the Golden 3. O sweet and blessed country, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and blessed country, Shall I e'er win thy grace? Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part; His only, His forever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!
