Zion, the city of our God

1

Zion, the city of our God,How glorious is the place!The Saviour there has his abode,And saints will see his face.

2

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

3

Come, set your faces Zionward,The sacred road inquire,And let the city of the LordBe henceforth your desire.

4

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

5

O Lord, regard thy people's prayer,Thy promise now fulfill,And young and old by grace prepareTo dwell on Zion's hill.
