Climbing Up Zion's Hill
Author: John Gilmore Chafee Appears in 41 hymnals First Line: I’m trying to climb up Zion’s hill Refrain First Line: I’m climbing up Zion’s hill Lyrics: 1 I’m trying to climb up Zion’s hill,
For the Savior whispers, “Love Me”;
Tho’ all beneath is dark as death,
Yet the stars are bright above me.
Then upward still, to Zion’s hill,
To the land of joy and beauty;
My path before shines more and more,
As it nears the golden city.
Refrain:
I’m climbing up Zion’s hill,
I’m climbing up Zion’s hill,
Climbing, climbing,
Climbing up Zion’s hill.
2 I know I’m but a little child,
My strength will not protect me;
But then I am the Savior’s lamb,
And He will not neglect me.
Then all the time I’ll try to climb
This holy hill of Zion;
For I am sure the way is pure,
And on it comes “no lion.” [Refrain]
3 Then come with me, we’ll upward go,
And climb this hill together;
And as we walk, we’ll sweetly talk,
And sing as we go thither.
Then mount up still God’s holy hill,
Till we reach the pearly portals;
Where raptured tongues proclaim the songs
Of the shining robed immortals. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I’m trying to climb up Zion’s hill] Text Sources: The Golden Censer by William Bradbury (New York: William B. Bradbury, 1864)

Philip Phillips
1834 - 1895 Composer of "[“I'm trying to climb up Zion's Hill”]" in Songs of Gladness for the Sabbath School Phillips, Philip, commonly known as the "Singing Pilgrim," was born in Chautauqua County, N. York, Aug. 13, 1834. Although engaged in farming for a time, from an early age he devoted himself to music, and ultimately devoted himself to the work of a "Singing Evangelist," in which capacity he has visited most English-speaking countries. His popular hymnals are: (1) Early Blossoms, 1860; (2) Musical Leaves, 1862; and (3) The Singing Pilgrim, 1866. In these works he published one or two hymns, including "I have heard of a Saviour's love" (The love of Christ), as in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878.
