1. Beautiful Zion, built above;Beautiful city that I love;Beautiful gates of pearly white;Beautiful temple—God its light;He who was slain on CalvaryOpens those pearly gates to me.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,Beautiful Zion,Zion, city of our God!
2. Beautiful heaven, where all is light;Beautiful angels, clothed in white;Beautiful strains that never tire;Beautiful harps thro’ all the choir;There shall I join the chorus sweet,Worshiping at the Savior’s feet.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,Beautiful Zion,Zion, city of our God!
3. Beautiful crowns on every brow;Beautiful palms the conq’rors show;Beautiful robes the ransomed wear;Beautiful all who enter there;Thither I press with eager feet—There shall my rest be long and sweet.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,Beautiful Zion,Zion, city of our God!
