333. Of Zion's honor angels sing!

1 Of Zion's honor angels sing!
In Zion Christ alone is King;
In grace He rules with gentle sway,
And leads her heavenward, day by day.

2 And Zion knows no other Lord,
But cleaves alone to His pure Word:
To her suffices: "Jesus saith!"--
This is her source and rule of faith.

3 To her He gave the Power of Keys,
To bind and loose as He decree;
Through her He wishes sins forgiven,
And sinner made fit heirs of heaven.

4 Hence He apostles, prophets, sent
To her, with Word and Sacrament--
And He gives servants of the Word,
To serve the Church and Christ her Lord.

5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Adored by all the heavenly host,
We bow in Zion at Thy throne,--
No other God and Lord we own.
