What joy possessed my heart,
What transport did I feel,
To hear my pious friends
Express their holy zeal!
To Zion's hill let us repair,
To pay our vows and worship there?
With willing feet we'll go;
Within her gates we'll stand;
Zion, thy courts we love,
The glory of our land ;
In our esteem thy buildings are
Divinely rich, divinely fair.
How pleasant 'tis to see
The thronging tribes ascend!
With holy longings there
The sacred hours to spend;
Where God records his gracious name,
His saints may lay their humble claim,
Here David's greater Son,
Maintains his royal throne;
The King of righteousness
Here makes his glories known;
To earth he came from realms above,
To rule the world with truth and love.
For Zion's peace, ye saints,
Your fervent prayers unite;
Be this your work by day—
Your pleasure this by night:
Zion, thy sons which love thee best,
Shall in thy peace be greatly blest,
For our dear brethren's sake,
Zion, we wish thee peace;
Prosper, O prosper long,
And may thy sons increase;
We seek thy good, we love the road
Which leads us to God's blest abode!
