Zion, Founded on the Mountains

Zion

founde­d on the mount­ains

God

thy mak­er

loves thee well;

He has chos­en thee

most pre­cious

He de­lights in thee to dwell;

God’s own ci­ty

God’s own ci­ty

God’s own ci­ty

who can all thy glo­ry tell?

Heathen lands and hos­tile peo­ples

Soon shall come the Lord to know;

Nations born again in Zion

Shall the Lord’s sal­va­tion show;

God al­migh­ty

God al­migh­ty

God al­migh­ty

shall on Zion strength be­stow.

When the Lord shall count the na­tions

Sons and daugh­ters He shall see

Born to end­less life in Zi­on

And their joy­ful song shall be:

Blessèd Zi­on

bless­èd Zion

Blessèd Zi­on

all our fount­ains are in thee.
