How glorious Zion's courts appear
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 How glorious Zion's courts appear,
The city of our God!
His throne he hath established here,
Here fixed his loved abode.
2 Its walls, defended by his grace,
No pow'r shall e'er o'erthrow,
Salvation is its bulwark sure
Against th' assailing foe.
3 Lift up the everlasting gates,
The doors wide open fling!
Enter, ye nations, who obey
The statutes of our King!
4 Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
And banish all your fears;
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells
Eternal as his years.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 26:1 Used With Tune: IRISH Text Sources: Adapted as in Scottish Paraphrases, 1781
How glorious Zion's courts appear
O thou who the Shepherd of Israel art
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Church The Church of Christ Lyrics: 1 O thou who the Shepherd of Israel art,
Give ear to our pray'r and thy favor impart;
Thou leader of Joseph, thou guide of his way,
'Mid cherubim dwelling, thy glory display.
2 In Ephraim's, Manasseh's and Benjamin's sight,
O come thou and save us; awake in thy might.
O God, give us favor, restore to thy grace;
And then we shall live in the light of thy face.
3 From Egypt's dark border a vine thou didst take;
Destroying the heathen didst room for it make.
Where planted it grew at thy sov'reign command,
With roots deeply set and boughs filling the land.
4 The axe hews it down; it is burned in the fire;
They perish, rebuked in thy terrible ire.
O lay then thy hand on the Man of thy might,
The Son of Man made to stand strong in thy sight.
5 No more shall we wander, delighting in shame;
Revive us, O Lord, we will call on thy Name.
O Lord God of Hosts, us restore to thy grace,
And then we shall live in the light of thy face.

In strong and beauteous order ranged,
Like her united tow'rs.

For they shall prosp'rous be,
Thou holy city of our God,
Who bear true love to thee.

A constant guest be found;
With plenty and prosperity
Thy palaces be crowned.

No less than brethren dear, I'll pray,
May peace in Salem's tow'rs

And ever wish thee well,
For Zion and the temple's sake,
Where God vouchsafes to dwell.
