Beautiful, peaceful Zion, We’ve heard of thy wonders of old; And out of the ages rising, The city of light we behold.

Coming, coming, Zion we come to thee; Coming, coming, Coming with joy to thee.

Out of the shadows hanging Dark over the valley of fear, We mount up to Zion’s glory, As crystal, eternally clear.

Wonderful, happy Zion, We stand on thy summit so free, While joyfully singing, upward, The ransomed are coming to thee.

Welcome the joyful tidings Of Zion, the mountain of love; ’Tis freedom from Babel bondage, And coming, that freedom we prove.
