<p>Sweet place; sweet place alone!<br>
|
|
The court of God most high,<br>
|
|
The heaven of heavens, the throne<br>
|
|
Of spotless majesty!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">O happy place!<br>
|
|
When shall I be, my God, with Thee,<br>
|
|
To see Thy face?</p>
|
|
<p>The stranger homeward bends,<br>
|
|
And sigheth for his rest:<br>
|
|
Heaven is my home, my friends<br>
|
|
Lodge there in Abraham’s breast.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Earth’s but a sorry tent,<br>
|
|
Pitched but a few frail days,<br>
|
|
A short leased tenement;<br>
|
|
Heaven’s still my song, my praise.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>No tears from any eyes<br>
|
|
Drop in that holy choir:<br>
|
|
But death itself there dies,<br>
|
|
And sighs themselves expire.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>There should temptations cease,<br>
|
|
My frailties there should end.<br>
|
|
There should I rest in peace<br>
|
|
In the arms of my best friend.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Jerusalem on high<br>
|
|
My song and city is,<br>
|
|
My home whene’er I die,<br>
|
|
The center of my bliss.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Thy walls, sweet city! thine<br>
|
|
With pearls are garnished,<br>
|
|
Thy gates with praises shine,<br>
|
|
Thy streets with gold are spread.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>No sun by day shines there,<br>
|
|
No moon by silent night.<br>
|
|
O no! these needless are;<br>
|
|
The Lamb’s the city’s light.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>There dwells my Lord, my King,<br>
|
|
Judged here unfit to live;<br>
|
|
There angels to Him sing,<br>
|
|
And lowly homage give.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The patriarchs of old<br>
|
|
There from their travels cease:<br>
|
|
The prophets there behold<br>
|
|
Their longed for Prince of peace.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The Lamb’s apostles there<br>
|
|
I might with joy behold:<br>
|
|
The harpers I might hear<br>
|
|
Harping on harps of gold.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The bleeding martyrs, they<br>
|
|
Within those courts are found;<br>
|
|
All clothed in pure array,<br>
|
|
Their scars with glory crowned.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Ah me! ah me! that I<br>
|
|
In Kedar’s tents here stay;<br>
|
|
No place like this on high;<br>
|
|
Thither, Lord! guide my way.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
