176. Zion, Founded on the Mountains

1 Zion, founded on the mountains,
God, thy Maker, loves thee well;
He has chosen thee, most precious,
He delights in thee to dwell;
God's own city,
Who can all thy glory tell?
God's own city,
Who can all thy glory tell?

2 Heathen lands and hostile peoples
Soon shall come the Lord to know;
Nations born again in Zion
Shall the Lord's salvation show;
God Almighty,
Shall on Zion strength bestow,
God Almighty,
Shall on Zion strength bestow.

3 When the Lord shall count the nations,
Sons and daughters He shall see,
Born to endless life in Zion,
And their joyful song shall be:
"Blessed Zion,
All our fountains are in thee,"
"Blessed Zion,
All our fountains are in thee."
