JERUSALEM! JERUSALEM!

Enthroned once on high;

Thou favoured home of God on earth
Thou heaven below the sky;

Now brought to bondage with thy sons,
A curse and grief to see:

Jerusalem! Jerusalem!

Our tears shall flow for thee.

Oh! hadst thou known thy day or grace,
And flocked beneath the wing
Of Him Who called thee lovingly,
Thine own arinted King;

cres. Then had the tribes of all the world
Gone up thy pomp to see,
And glory dwelt within thy gates,
And all thy sons been free!
