[Jerusalem of fire]
Jerusalem of fire
And gold and pearl and gem,
Saints flock to fill thy choir,
Jerusalem.
And gold and pearl and gem,
Saints flock to fill thy choir,
Jerusalem.
Lo, thrones thou hast for them;
Desirous they desire
Thy harp, thy diadem,
Desirous they desire
Thy harp, thy diadem,
Thy bridal white attire,
A palm-branch from thy stem:
Thy holiness their hire,
Jerusalem.
A palm-branch from thy stem:
Thy holiness their hire,
Jerusalem.
