Zion! the City of Our God

Zion! the ci­ty of our God

How glor­ious is the place!

The Sav­ior there has His ab­ode

And sin­ners see His face!

Set firm against each ad­verse shock

Its migh­ty bul­warks prove;

’Tis built up­on the liv­ing Rock

And walled around with love.

There

all the fruits of glo­ry grow

And joys that nev­er die;

And streams of grace and know­ledge flow

The soul to sa­tis­fy.

Come

set your fac­es Zion-ward

The sac­red road in­quire;

And let a un­ion to the Lord

Be hence­forth your de­sire!

The Gos­pel shines to give you light

No long­er

then

de­lay;

The Spir­it waits to guide you right

And Je­sus is the way.

O Lord

re­gard Thy peo­ple’s pray­er

Thy pro­mise now ful­fill;

And young and old

by grace pre­pare

To dwell on Zi­on’s hill.
