Welcome home! Where your eyes will Finally look upon hope And every capitve is at long last safe A ransomed bride within her city gates Welcome home! This is Jerusalem the Beautiful! Hereafter you will see Angels ascending and descending The Son of Strength takes you To the inherited kingdom of your youth Hereafter favor comes That claimed Zion's remaining ones It's your reward made clean The everlasting deed of Abram's dream Welcome home! The barren heights will surge and overflow From the throne issues the old vein With only a touch the earth reanimates Welcome home! This is Zion of the Holy One! Where every wasted place becomes Like Eden's Garden And living streams will again fill The withered ground with life Like the rush of Elim's waters You are Married, Not Forsaken! You're Sought Out, for you delight Him! Jerusalem, o Jerusalem You will never weep again!
