Lyics

HOW honor'd is the place,

Where we adoring stand,

Zion, the glory of the earth,

And beauty of the land.



Bulwarks of grace defend

The city where we dwell;

While walls of strong salvation made,

Defy th' assaults of hell.



Lift up th' eternal gates,

The doors wide open fling;

Enter, ye nations, that obey

The statutes of your King.



Here taste unmingled joys,

And live in perfect peace;

You that have known Jehovah's name,

And ventur'd on his grace.



Trust in the Lord, ye saints,

And banish all your fears,

Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,

Eternal as his years.
