Sheet music

  1. 1Jerusalem, my happy home,Name ever dear to me!When shall my sorrows have an endIn joy, and peace, and thee?When shall my eyes thy heav’n built wallsAnd pearly gates behold?Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,And streets of shining gold?
  2. 2There happier bow’rs than Eden’s bloom,Nor sin nor sorrow know;Blest seats! thru rude and stormy scenes,I onward press to you.
