[Music]
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Oh how I long for thee!
When shall my sorrows have an end,
Thy joys when shall I see.
Home, sweet home, my long-sought home,
My home in heav'n above.
Thy walls are all of precious stone,
Most glorious to behold;
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold.
Thy garden and thy pleasing green
My study long have been;
Such sparkling light by human sight
Has never yet been seen.
The _Christian Harmony_ credits the song to William Bobo, Union, S. C.
