LyicsHOW 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 our King.
Here taste unmingled joys,
And live in perfect peace,
You that have known Jehovah's name,
And ventur'd on His grace.
