Jerusalem the Beautiful!

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.
