Cântăre Glorious Zion

1. Glorious things are spoken of thee,

Thou city of God, thou home of the free;

Fair as the morning, clear as the sun,

Great army with banners, conquering one.



R: Zion of God, thou home of the free,

Washed in the blood, I’m dwelling in thee;

Glorious home, oh, gather us there,

Church of the Firstborn, thou art so fair.



2. Glorious things I cannot declare

Are found in thy courts so wondrously fair;

Those who remain within thee shall rest,

O Zion of God, thou home of the blest.



3. Glorious things shine forth in thy light,

Thou city so fair, no sorrow can blight;

Blessings so rich, unnumbered, untold,

More precious are they than diamonds and gold.



4. Glorious things divinely complete

Within thee are found—thy love is replete;

Down through the ages, spotless and pure,

Thy God hath preserved thee, thou art secure.
