Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Church Book #270 (1890) Meter: 8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion stands by hills surrounded;
Zion kept by power divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine.
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;
Heaven and earth at last remove:
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, thine everlasting Light. Topics: The Church Her Protection and Defence; Sunday after New Year Languages: English Tune Title: HOLBORN
