I'm bound for New Jerusalem,
Thither my blest beloved’s gone:
The righteous branch of Jesse’s stem,
’Tis he I've fixt my heart upon.
Fain would l climb above the skies,
To see the beauties of his face;
My faith would into vision rise,
And hope would cease in his embrace.
I languish with extreme desire,
The object of my love to see;
O let me in love’s flames expire,
That I may with my Jesus be.
This life’s a pilgrimage of care;
When will the happy season come,
That I shall breathe celestial air,
And settle in my native home?
I long to reach the shore of bliss,
And see the New Jerusalem,
Where my beloved Jesus is,
And spend eternity with him.
