VERSE 1
Jerusalem on high,
My song and city is,
My home whene'er I die,
The centre of my bliss.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
VERSE 2
There dwells my Lord, my King,
Judged here unfit to live;
There angels to Him sing,
And lowly homage give.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
VERSE 3
The patriarchs of old,
There from their travels cease;
The prophets there behold
Their long'd for Prince of Peace.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
VERSE 4
The Lamb's apostles there
I might with joy behold;
The harpers I might hear
Harping on harps of gold.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
VERSE 5
The bleeding martyrs they,
Within those courts are found;
All clothed in pure array
Their scars with glory crown'd.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
VERSE 6
Ah, woe is me, that I
In Kedar's tents here stay;
No place like that on high;
Lord, thither guide my way.
CHORUS
Oh happy place! when shall I be.
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
