Lyics

How honor'd is the place
Where we adoring stand, 
Zion, the glory of the earth,
Zion, the glory of the earth,
And beauty of the land,
And beauty of the land.


Bulwarks of grace defend
The city where we dwell;
While walls of strong salvation made,

While walls of strong salvation made
Defy th' assaults of hell,
Defy th' assaults of hell.


There taste unmingled joys,
And live in perfect peace,
You that have known Jehovah's name,
You that have known Jehovah's name
And ventured on his grace,
And ventured on his grace.


Trust in the Lord, ye saints, 
And banish all your fears;
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,
Eternal as his years,
Eternal as his years.
