Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#87

87. Zion, Founded on the Mountains

1 Zion, founded on the mountains,
God, Thy Maker, loves thee well;
He has chosen thee, most precious,
He delights in thee to dwell;
God's own city, who can all thy glory tell?

2 Heathen lands and hostile peoples
soon shall come the LORD to know;
nations born again in Zion
shall the Lord's salvation show;
God Almighty shall on Zion strength bestow.

3 When the LORD shall count the nations,
sons and daughters He shall see,
born to endless life in Zion,
and their joyful song shall be:
"Blessed Zion, all our fountains are in thee."
