O Sion, Sion, I long thy gates to see: O Sion, Sion, When shall I dwell in thee?

A city with foundations, Firm as th' eternal throne, Nor wars, nor desolations Shall ever move a stone.

No night is there, no sorrow, No death, and no decay; No yesterday, no morrow,-- But one eternal day.

Within its pearly portals, Angelic armies sing, With glorified immortals, The praises of its King.
