ZION, THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH

1.   O, to be born in Zion
      The joy of the whole earth,
      The Highest shall establish them
      Who in Him find their strength.
    
            CHORUS

      Oh Zion, great Zion!
      They sing in sweet refrain,
      Who followed the Lamb stain,
      With whom for e’er they’ll reign.
        
2.   The Father’s Name they did bear,
      His burdens all to share;
      Their all they left; fulfilled His Word
      And call so great and rare.
        
3.   Firstfruits are they unto God,
      And to Thee, Lamb of Zion,
      Redeemed from men and from the earth,
      They are of priceless worth.

4.   On thy towers, O Zion!
      They wrestled through in prayer;
      In selfless service poured their lives
      Thy glory e’er to share.

5.   When here their race is over,
      The battle fought and won,
      They’ll hear their Master say, ”Well done,
      Share now My glorious throne”.
