Hymnal: Grove Songs No. 2 #18 (1873) First Line: Beautiful Zion, built above Refrain First Line: Zion, Zion, lovely Zion Lyrics: 1. Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful city that I love!
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple--God its light!
He who was slain on Calvary,
Opens those pearly gates to me.
Refrain:
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
2. Beautiful heav'n where all is light,
Beautiful angles, clothed in white;
Beautiful strains that never tire,
Beautiful harps thro' all the choir;
There shall I join the chorus sweet,
Worshipping at the Saviour's feet.
Zion, Zion, etc.
3. Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors' show;
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there;
Thither I press with eager feet,
There shall my rest be long and sweet.
Zion, Zion, etc.
4. Beautiful throne for Christ our King,
Beautiful songs the angels sing;
Beautiful rest--all wanderings cease,
Beautiful home of perfect peace;
There shall my eyes the Saviour see;
Haste to this heavenly home with me.
Zion, Zion, etc.
