1
Jerusalem on high,
My song and city is,
My home whene’er I die,
The centre of my bliss;
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
2
There dwells my Lord, my King,
Judged here unfit to live;
There angels to Him sing
And lowly homage give;
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
3
The patriarchs of old
There from their travels cease;
The prophets there behold
Their longed-for Prince of Peace;
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
4
The Lamb’s apostles there
I might with joy behold,
The harpers I might hear
Harping on harps of gold:
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
5
The bleeding martyrs, they
Within these courts are found,
Clothèd in pure array,
Their scars with glory crowned;
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
6
Ah me! ah me! that I
In Kedar’s tent here stay;
No place like that on high;
Lord thither guide my way;
Oh, happy place!
When shall I be,
My God, with Thee,
To see Thy face?
Amen.

Reflection

After all this sojourn on earth, after the whole vanity fair, after all said and done and we've become all what we ever want to be. After acquiring that wealth large enough to fill the ocean from sea shore to sea shore. We will all have to go over to the other side to continue eternity.

Everyone is going to die, and trust me, we will meet our maker on that day. This song has so many thick thought-provoking lyrics able to make us draw closer to finalize our ways with God.

When will I see my happy home, when will I see Jesus.
