Fair Zion
Author: Charles W. Naylor Hymnal: Timeless Truths #844 Meter: 10.8.11.8 with refrain First Line: O beautiful Zion, fair bride of the Lamb Refrain First Line: O Zion, fair Zion, thou church of the firstborn Lyrics: 1 O beautiful Zion, fair bride of the Lamb,
Thy marvelous light we behold,
Which shone on the nations enshrouded by darkness,
And millions were brought to thy fold.
Refrain:
O Zion, fair Zion, thou church of the firstborn,
My heart in its rapture rejoices in thee;
The angels in heaven behold thee with wonder,
Thou glorious city, thou home of the free.
2 Eclipsed was thy luster by long papal night,
And dimly the dark cloudy day
Revealed thee to eyes that were earnestly searching
For truth and the heavenly way. [Refrain]
3 Thy light as the morning breaks forth in the earth,
Thy brightness all nations shall see;
The ransomed from Babel are eagerly turning
With songs of rejoicing to thee. [Refrain]
4 O Zion, blest Zion, thy sun shall no more
Go down in obscurity’s night;
From out thy perfection of beauty is shining
The rays of God’s wonderful light. [Refrain]
5 Eternity’s ages of bliss shall be thine,
In regions unclouded above;
And there shalt thou dwell evermore with thy Maker,
Delighting thyself in His love. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Tune Title: [O beautiful Zion, fair bride of the Lamb]
