Exalted Praise ‎#23

23. Fair Zion’s Light

1 From Zion, perfection of beauty;
From Zion the joy of the earth,
The light and the glory of heaven
Is shining unceasingly forth.

Refrain:
From Zion, fair Zion, the lovely,
A beautiful brilliancy beams,
The light of the Sun of all beauty
Upon a benighted world streams.

2 His light is the light of His people,
And fondly, we walk in the light;
And as we go on t’ward perfection,
It grows ev’ry moment more bright. [Refrain]

3 Shine forth on the darkened, O Jesus!
On them, Sun of righteousness, rise!
‘Till from ev’ry tribe of all people
Thy praises ascend to the skies. [Refrain]
