10086. Climbing Zion's Mountain

1 I’m climbing Zion’s mountain,
With Jesus as my guide,
I’ll reach the cleansing fountain—
The precious crimson tide.

Refrain:
I’m onward, upward climbing
Mount Zion’s rugged side;
I’ll reach the land immortal
And there in joy abide.

2 Earth’s storms are all below me—
Her floods can reach me not;
Close to the "Rock of Ages"
I’ll find a sheltered spot. [Refrain]

3 Ne’er was a friend so faithful,
And ne’er a guide so true;
I will to Him be loyal
The whole long journey through. [Refrain]
