1 O Heavenly Jerusalem, Of everlasting halls, Thrice bless'd are the people Thou storest in thy walls. 2 Thou art the golden mansion, Where saints forever sing, The seat of God's own chosen, The palace of the king. 3 There God for ever sitteth, Himself of all the crown; The Lamb, the Light that shineth, And never goeth down. 4 Naught to this seat approacheth Their sweet peace to molest; They sing their God forever, Nor day nor night they rest. 5 Sure hope doth thither lead us; Our longings thither tend; May short-lived toil ne'er daunt us For joys that cannot end. 6 To Christ, the Sun that lightens His Church above, below; To Father, and to Spirit All things created bow. Amen.
