Jerusalem the beautiful!
Its glories are untold;
Its walls are built of precious stones
Its pavements made of gold;
Its mansions for the ransomed ones
In matchless splendor shine;
Jerusalem
the beautiful!
Jerusalem divine!
Jerusalem the beautiful!
Its gates of pearly white
To voice of prayer and song of praise
Are open day and night;
And shining ones around the throne
In sweeter raptures sing;
Jerusalem
the beautiful!
Where saints their tributes bring.
Jerusalem
the beautiful!
My everlasting rest!
My glorious home
the saints’ abode
The city of the blest;
The temple of the Holy One
Thy light is all divine;
Jerusalem
the beautiful!
I love to call thee mine.
