Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning. Zion in triumph begins her glad reign. 2.

Lo! in the desert the flowers are springing; Streams, ever copious, are gliding along. Loud from the mountaintops echoes are ringing; Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4. Hark! from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high. Fallen the engines of war and commotion; Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion

Author: William W. Phelps, 1792–1872 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #48 (1985) Topics: Millennium Lyrics: 1. Glorious things are sung of Zion, Enoch’s city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of gold. Love and virtue, faith and wisdom, Grace and gifts were all combined. As himself each loved his neighbor; All were one in heart and mind. 2. There they shunn’d the pow’r of Satan And observed celestial laws; For in Adam-ondi-Ahman Zion rose where Eden was. When beyond the pow’r of evil, So that none could covet wealth, One continual feast of blessings Crown’d their days with peace and health. 3. Then the tow’rs of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder skies, And the wicked stood and trembled, Filled with wonder and surprise. Then their faith and works were perfect; Lo, they followed their great Head! So the city went to heaven, And the world said, “Zion’s fled!” 4. When the Lord returns with Zion, And we hear the watchman cry, Then we’ll surely be united, And we’ll all see eye to eye. Then we’ll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless his own. Then the earth will be as Eden, And we’ll know as we are known. Scripture: Isaiah 52:8 Languages: English Tune Title: [Glorious things are sung of Zion]
