(\'Jerusalem the golden\')
*********
You palaces of Zion
The Lamb and the Lion
Resides there ever, He be
Jesus, Son of God, see
And believers are members
Of His city, each shares
His glory, as He desired
With holy passions fired
Here to abide for ever
No dark, no sin, never
For \'tis God\'s residency
Eternal, perfect be
Though human hands form beauty
Far greater treasures we
Shall by His grace inherit
None shall hinder, forfeit
Walk about Zion(*), and tell
God has made all things well
Surpassing earthly joys though
All made by Him, we know
Light perpetual shines here for
The Dayspring(#) reigns e\'ermore
And blessings on His people
The Lord does sure outpour
O lighten our hearts, we wait
To share in royal state
Of Rapture, where all shall be
Perfect forever, see
Guard, guide us, while on earth we
May know your Spirit free
Then things infinite revealed
Not one good thing concealed(@)
