Fair Zion’s sons with pleasure meet,
To mingle prayer and praise;
In bonds of love each other greet,
And each his tribute pays.
To Jesus, their exalted head,
They due allegiance show;
To Canaan’s land by him are led,
Where milk and honey flow.
Great are the victories they achieve,
And great the joys they feel;
They all their strength from Christ receive,
To know and do his will.
What is the bliss which monarchs boast,
Or what the worldlings’ gain,
Compared with shouts of Israel’s host,
The triumphs they obtain?
More splendid far is their renown,
More durable their peace;
‘Tis theirs to wear the brighter crown,
Whose conquests never cease.
Dear Saviour, lead thine honoured bands,
And clothe thy foes with shame;
Now issue forth thy high commands,
And spread abroad thy name.
