Zion, Perfection of Beauty

From Zi­on

per­fect­ion of beau­ty

From Zi­on

the joy of the earth

The light and the glo­ry of Heav­en

Are stream­ing un­ceas­ing­ly forth.

From Zi­on

fair Zi­on

the love­ly

A heav’n­ly bril­lian­cy beams;

The light of the Sun of all beau­ty

Upon a be­night­ed world streams.

His life is the hope of His people

And fond­ly we walk in the light;

And as we go on to per­fect­ion

It grows ev­ery moment more bright.

Shine forth on the dark­ened

O Jesus!

On them

Sun of right­eous­ness

rise!

Till from ev­ery tribe of all peo­ple

Thy prais­es as­cend to the skies.
