O Lord, We pray that You will join with us
As now we come to worship only You.
Please be with us, and dwell here in our midst
And share with us the beauty of Yourself.
We hunger and we search for only You;
With full desire, we want You here with us.
In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.

Ancient Christian Poem, "Jerusalem, My Happy Home," with new music
This is a plea from earlier Christians for a better life in heaven than they had here on earth. I selected
the most powerful verses from this long text, and added new music of my own. The text was directly inspired by Revelation 21:1-8,
which describes The New Jerusalem, where Christians will live forever with the Lord. The English words are more than 400
years old, but they are as clear and plaintive as if they were written yesterday. The English words are based on the words
of St. Augustine, another 1,200 years earlier. Music, arrangement, and MIDI sequence by Bill
McGinnis.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys, when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no cares, no toil.
(verses 1 and 2 of 26)
