- 1Beautiful Zion, built above,Beautiful city that I love;Beautiful gates of pearly white,Beautiful temple–God its light;He who was slain on CalvaryOpens those pearly gates to me."Zion, Zion, lovely Zion!Beautiful Zion, city of our God!
- 2Beautiful heav’n, where all is light,Beautiful angels, clothed in white;Beautiful strains that never tire,Beautiful harps thro’ all the choir;There shall I join the chorus sweet,Worshipping at the Savior’s feet.Zion, Zion, lovely Zion!Beautiful Zion, city of our God!
- 3Beautiful throne for Christ our King,Beautiful songs the angels sing;Beautiful rest all wand’rings cease,Beautiful home of perfect peace;There shall my eyes the Savior see:Haste to this heav’nly home with me."Zion, Zion, lovely Zion!Beautiful Zion, city of our God!
