City of Salvation

We have a strong ci­ty

in Ju­dah’s fair land

Its walls are sal­va­tion

ap­point­ed to stand;

Salvation its bul­warks that nev­er may fall

Jehovah its build­er

He’s all and in all.

O Ci­ty

fair Ci­ty! thou beau­te­ous place;

Thy gates swing wide op­en

thy tem­ples are grace;

Who en­ter thy por­tals

for ev­er re­main;

There’s peace

per­fect peace

for Je­ho­vah doth reign.

Then op­en the gates

let the right­eous who hold

His truth

en­ter in

and be­come of His fold;

He’ll keep them in peace if their mind is but stayed;

And so they may trust Him

and be not afraid.

Forever and ev­er

O trust ye the Lord;

He’ll keep who­so­ev­er be­lieves in His word.

Jehovah

Thy strength ev­er­last­ing shall be;

Then op­en

fair Ci­ty

we come un­to thee.
