Jerusalem the Golden EWING Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th C. Trans. John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Musician: Alexander Ewing, 1830-1895   Play Music | MP3 • Click to listen to the music for this hymn. Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, oh, I know not What joys await me there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, 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. There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song 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. O sweet and blessed coun try, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest.
