Jerusalem On High is a hymn written by minister Samuel Crossman and music composed by Charles Steggall.
Jerusalem on high, my song that city is,<br> My home wheneâÂÂer I die, the center of my bliss;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
There dwells my Lord, my King, judged here unfit to live;<br> There angels to Him sing and lowly homage give;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
The patriarchs of old there from their travels cease;<br> The prophets there behold their longed for Prince of peace;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
The LambâÂÂs Apostles there I might with joy behold,<br> The harpers I might hear harping on harps of gold;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
The bleeding martyrs, they within those courts are found,<br> Clothèd in pure array, their scars with glory crowned;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
Ah me! ah me! that I in KedarâÂÂs tent here stay;<br> No place like that on high; Lord thither guide my way;<br> O happy place! When shall I be,<br> My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
