I: Zion, the city of our God, / How glorious is the place!

The Saviour there has his abode, / And sinners see his face!

II: Firm against every adverse shock / Its mighty bulwarks prove; / 'Tis built upon the living Rock, / And wall'd around with love.

III: There all the fruits of glory grow, / And joys that never die; / And streams of grace and knowledge flow, / The soul to satisfy.

IV: Come, set your faces Zion-ward, / The sacred road enquire; / And let a union to the Lord / Be henceforth your desire.

V: The gospel shines to give you light; / No longer, then, delay; / The Spirit waits to guide you right, / And Jesus is the way.

VI: O Lord, regard thy people's prayer, / Thy promise now fulfill; / And young and old by grace prepare / To dwell on Zion's hill.
