Zi­on

Cheerfully marchi­ng with the throng,
O the songs of joy we sing,
Beautiful ci­ty that I love;
Go quick­ly, in the man­ger find
For the Sav­ior whis­pers, Love;
Going up high­er, go­ing up high­er,
From Zi­on, the joy of the earth,
Thou ci­ty of the faith­ful,
We shall hear the watch­men cry,
The winds alone our harp-strings swept,
Not we, but the Lord is our mak­er, our God;
Zion, long in hos­tile lands:
Where no fear was they quail;
She shall arise and shine on high,
And dai­ly sweet les­sons of mer­cy will learn,
The star­ry host troops forth:
Let Ju­dah’s daugh­ters praise
To praise the Lamb.
When ov­er the riv­er
Tell, O tell us of the night;
