Beautiful Zion, Built Above

Lyrics

1. 1. Beautiful Zion, built above;

   Beautiful city that I love;

   Beautiful gates of pearly white;

   Beautiful temple—God its light;

   He who was slain on Calvary

   Opens those pearly gates for me.

2. [Chorus]

   Zion, Zion, lovely Zion;

   Beautiful Zion;

   Zion, city of our God!

3. 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.

4. 3. Beautiful crowns on ev’ry brow;

   Beautiful palms the conq’rors show;

   Beautiful robes the ransomed wear;

   Beautiful all who enter there;

   Thither I press with eager feet;

   There shall my rest be long and sweet.
