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 us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare!
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed,
I know not, O I know not
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare!
2 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The songs of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever, and forever,
Are clad in robes of white!
And there, from care released,
The songs of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever, and forever,
Are clad in robes of white!
