Text: | Zion Stands With Hills Surrounded |
Author: | T. Kelly |
Tune: | [Zion stands with hills surrounded] |
Composer: | Henry Smart |
1 Zion stands by hills surrounded;
Zion kept by pow'r divine
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine.
Happy Zion, Happy Zion,
What a favored lot is thine!
2 Every human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heav'n and earth at last remove:
But no changes, But no changes,
Can attend Jehovah’s love.
3 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in His sight:
God is with thee, God is with thee,
God, thine everlasting light.
