[Chorus:] Zion, Zion, lovely Zion; Beautiful Zion; Zion, city of our God! 2. Beautiful heav’n, where all is light; Beautiful angels clothed in white; Beautiful strains that never tire; Beautiful harps thru all the choir; There shall I join the chorus sweet, Worshiping at the Savior’s feet.

God and His Church

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christ Exaltation of First Line: Gracious Lord, remember David Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 132 Used With Tune: ULSTER

Who has believ'd thy Word

Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Who has believ'd thy Word, Or that Salvation known? Reveal thine Arm, Almighty Lord, And glorify thy Son. 2 The Jews esteem'd Him here Too mean for their Belief; Sorrows his chief Acquaintance were, And his Companion, Grief. 3 They turn'd their Eyes away, And treated Him with Scorn; But 'twas their Griefs upon him lay, Their Sorrows he has borne. 4 'Twas for the stubborn Jews, And Gentiles then unknown, The God of Justice pleas'd to bruise His best-beloved Son. 5 "But I'll prolong his Days, "And make his Kingdom stand; "My Pleasure, (saith the God of Grace) "Shall prosper in his Hand. [6 "His joyful Soul shall see "The Purchase of his Pain "And by his Knowledge justify "The guilty Sons of Men.] [7 "Ten Thousand Captive Slaves, "Releas'd from Death and Sin, "Shall quit their Prisons and their Graves "And own his Pow'r Divine.] 8 "Heav'n shall advance my Son "To Joys that Earth deny'd; "Who saw the Follies Men had done, "And bore their Sins, and dy'd." Scripture: Isaiah 53:1-5

Like sheep we went astray

Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Like Sheep we went astray, And broke the Fold of God, Each wand'ring in a diff'rent Way, But all the downward Road. 2 How dreadful was the Hour When God our Wand'rings laid, And did at once his Vengeance pour Upon the Shepherd's Head! 3 How glorious was the Grace When Christ sustain'd the Stroke! His Life and Blood the Shepherd pays A Ransom for the Flock. 5 His Honour and his Breath Were taken both away; Join'd with the Wicked in his Death, And made as vile as they. 6 But God shall raise his Head O'er all the Sons of Men, And make him see a num'rous Seed, To recompense his Pain. 7 I'll give him (saith the Lord) A Portion with the Strong; He shall possess a large Reward, And hold his Honours long. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6-9

Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day

Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day, To those that have no God, When the poor Soul is forc'd away To seek her last Abode. 2 In vain to Heav'n she lifts her Eyes, But Guilt, a heavy Chain, Still drags her downward from the Skies, To Darkness, Fire and Pain. 3 Awake and mourn, ye Heirs of Hell, Let stubborn Sinners fear; You must be driv'n from Earth and dwell A long For Ever there. 4 See how the Pit gapes wide for you, And flashes in your Face; And thou, my Soul, look downwards too, And sing recov'ring Grace, 5 He is a God of sov'reign Grace, That promis'd Heav'n to me; And taught my Thoughts to soar above, Where happy Spirits be. 6 Prepare me, Lord, for thy Right Hand, Then come the joyful Day, Come Death and some celestial Band, To bear my Soul away.
