LyicsHOW honored 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 us 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.
