275. Zion stands by hills surrounded

1 Zion stands by hills surrounded,
Zion, kept by pow'r divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine;
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!

2 Ev'ry human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heav'n and earth at last remove;
But no changes Can attend Jehovah's love,
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,
God is with thee-- God, thine everlasting light.

Amen.
