Jerusalem, Arise

Jerusalem, arise,
The heavenly glory view;
The light is come, lift up thine eyes,
All things are now made new.

Now ended is the reign
Of error’s gloomy night:
The Sun of heaven appears again
And beams celestial light.

Now living waters flow
To cheer the humble soul:
From sea to sea the rivers go,
And bless where’er they roll.

Jesus shall rule alone,
The world shall hear His Word;
By one blest Name shall He be known,
The universal Lord.

This is a paraphrase by John Mason Neale of the Latin hymn 'Urbs beata Jerusalem' (Blessed city, heavenly Salem). Neale's version begins 'Jerusalem the golden' in most hymnals, but he also produced a shorter 'Jerusalem, arise' form that matches the given text exactly. Alternate attributions occasionally list it simply as 'tr. Neale' or link it to the medieval original, but Neale is the author of these English lyrics.
