Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#29

29. Zion Stands With Hills Surrounded

1. Zion stands with hill surrounded—
Zion, kept by pow'r divine,
All her foes shall be confounded,
Tho' the world in arms combine;
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!

2. Ev'ry 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 Can attend Jehovah’s love
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: Thou shalt triumph in His might.
God is with thee: Thou shalt triumph in His might.
