JERUSALEM, MY HAPPY HOME - by F. B. P. (c. 1580) - Public Domain
  Selected verses

See Revelation 21:1-8, below


           Jerusalem, my happy home,
             When shall I come to thee?
           When shall my sorrows have an end?
             Thy joys, when shall I see?

           O happy harbor of the saints!
             O sweet and pleasant soil!
           In thee no sorrow may be found,
             No grief, no cares, no toil.

           In thee no sickness may be seen,
             No hurt, no ache, no sore;
           In thee there is no dread of death,
             But life for evermore.

           No dampish mist is seen in thee,
             No cold nor darksome night;
           There every soul shines as the sun;
             There God Himself gives light.
           
           Quite through the streets with silver sound
             The flood of life doth flow,
           Upon whose banks on every side
             The wood of life doth grow.

           There trees for evermore bear fruit,
             And evermore do spring;
           There evermore the angels sit,
             And evermore do sing.  

           We that are here in banishment,
             Continually do mourn;
           We sigh and sob, we weep and wail,
             Perpetually we groan.

           Our sweet is mixed with bitter gall,
             Our pleasure is but pain,
           Our joys scarce last the looking on,
             Our sorrows still remain.

           But there they live in such delight,
             Such pleasure and such play,
           As that to them a thousand years
             Doth seem as yesterday.

           Ah, my sweet home, Jerusalem,
             Would God I were in thee!
           Would God my woes were at an end,
             Thy joys that I might see.

           
             *               *              *


   REVELATION 21:1-8 (World English Bible - Public Domain)


                        The New Jerusalem


   (1) I saw a new Heaven and a new earth: for the first Heaven and the
   first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

   (2) I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven
    from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

   (3) I heard a loud voice out of the throne saying, "Behold, God's
   tent is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will
   be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

   (4) He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be
   no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain,
   any more. The first things have passed away.

   (5) He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things
    new." He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

   (6) He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
   Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty 
   from the spring of the water of life.

   (7) He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be
   his God, and he will be my son.

   (8)But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers,
   sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part
   is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second
   death."
