RCCG Hymn 597
Jerusalem on High
"And shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem." - Rev 21:10
Jerusalem on high, My song and city is, My home whene'er I die, The centre of my bliss.
There dwells my Lord, my King, Judged here unfit to live; There angels to Him sing, And lowly homage give.
The patriarchs of old, There from their travels cease; The prophets there behold Their long'd for Prince of Peace.
The Lamb's apostles there I might with joy behold; The harpers I might hear Harping on harps of gold.
The bleeding martyrs they, Within those courts are found; All clothed in pure array Their scars with glory crown'd.
Ah, woe is me, that I In Kedar's tents here stay; No place like that on high; Lord, thither guide my way.
