How honoured is the sacred place,
Where we adoring stand,
Zion, the glory of the earth,
And beauty of the land.
Bulwarks of mighty grace defend
The city where we dwell;
While walls of strong salvation made,
Defy th' assaults of hell.
Lift up the everlasting gates,
The doors wide open fling;
Enter, ye nations, that obey
The statutes of your King.
Here shall you taste unmingled joys,
And live in perfect peace;
You that have known Jehovah's name,
And ventured on his grace.
Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
And banish all your fears,
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,
Eternal as his years.
