(Chorus) |
|
Jerusalem, our happy home |
|
When shall we come to thee? |
|
When shall our sorrows have an end? |
|
Thy joys when shall we see? |
|
They see no one that sent her there |
|
Their palms spring from the ground |
|
No tongue can tell, no heart can think |
|
What joys do there abound |
|
Chorus |
|
Forever more the trees bear fruit |
|
And ever more they spring |
|
And ever more the saints are glad |
|
And ever more they sing |
|
Chorus |
|
Fair Magdalene, she hath less moan |
|
Likewise there she doth sing |
|
The happy saints in harmony |
|
Through every street doth ring |
|
Chorus |
|
Fair Magdalene hath dried her tears |
|
She's seen no more to weep |
|
Nor wet the ringlets of her hair |
|
To wipe her savior's feet |
|
Chorus |
