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 for me.

Zion, Zion, lovely Zion; Beautiful Zion; Zion, city of our God!

2. Beautiful heav’n, where all is light; Beautiful angels clothed in white; Beautiful strains that never tire; Beautiful harps thru 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 ev’ry 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!
