Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. As children of Zion our voices we’ll raise In songs of rejoicing, thanksgiving and praise; We’re happy and free, As mortals can be,
And Zion, Zion, Zion is growing, Zion, Zion, Zion is growing.
2. In song shall our Father and God be adored, For he hath in mercy the gospel restored; And we in our youth Can vouch for its truth,
For Zion, Zion, Zion is growing, Zion, Zion, Zion is growing.
3. We hope to prove faithful to God and his laws, And aid the advancement of Zion’s great cause; For therein is joy, Which none can destroy;
Thus Zion, Zion, Zion is growing, Zion, Zion, Zion is growing.
4. All praise to our Father, his Priesthood and pow’r, And thanks for his blessings he on us doth show’r; Whereby we progress, As onward we press,
While Zion, Zion, Zion is growing, Zion, Zion, Zion is growing.
