GOD'S ISRAEL.
Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother us all.
—Gal. iv. 26.
Happy sons of Israel,
That in pleasant Canaan dwell;
Happy they, but happier we,
If Jehovah's own we be.
That in pleasant Canaan dwell;
Happy they, but happier we,
If Jehovah's own we be.
Happy citizens who wait
Within Salem's hallowed gate;
Happy they, but happier we
Who the heavenly Salem see.
Within Salem's hallowed gate;
Happy they, but happier we
Who the heavenly Salem see.
8
Happy sons of Levi there,
Who within thy house of prayer
Always stand; but happier we,
Day and night still praising Thee.
Who within thy house of prayer
Always stand; but happier we,
Day and night still praising Thee.
For Jerusalem above
Is the city that we love,—
Jerusalem our home we call,—
Heavenly mother of us all.
Is the city that we love,—
Jerusalem our home we call,—
Heavenly mother of us all.
