Then we’ll sing the songs of Zion, of highest themes they be,

There we see the Holy Father, unseen by other men,

The unsearchable riches in Zion are within our ken.

CHORUS

I long to be ready to meet Him when He comes,

I long for the rapture to meet Him in the air.

Oh, I want to see the glory and hear Him say “Well done,”

For I long to be ready to meet Him when He appears.

2.              Now I’ll rather walk with Jesus, and with Him stand alone,

For I long to be ready to meet Him, at His holy throne.

3.               And I’ll never grumble ever, in trials firmly stand,

Where He leads I will follow Him gladly, with His chosen band.

4.               And from Zion they be reigning, for all eternity;

They are found to be faithful and worthy, by the Trinity.

5.               Oh! how perfect is mount Zion, God  truly loveth thee,

Thou wast true to heavenly vision, for truth hath made thee free,

When the Lord shall build up Zion, then Jesus shall appear,
