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 Calvary Opens 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!
