Beautiful Zion, built above!
Beautiful city that I love!
Beautiful gates of pearly white!
Beautiful temple-God its light!
He who was slain on Calvary,
Opened those pearly gates to me!

Refrain
Zion, Zion, holy Zion
Beautiful Zion-city of our God!
Zion, Zion, holy Zion
Beautiful Zion-city of our God!

Beautiful heaven-all is light!
Beautiful angels, clothed in white!
Beautiful strains that never tire!
Beautiful harps through all the choir!
There shall I join the chorus sweet,
Worshiping at the Saviour’s feet!

Beautiful crowns on every brow!
Beautiful palms the conquerors show!
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear!
Beautiful all who enter there!
Thither I press with eager feet-
There shall my rest be long and sweet!

Beautiful throne of Christ the King!
Beautiful songs the ransomed sing!
Beautiful rest, where wanderings cease!
Beautiful home of perfect peace!
There shall my eyes the Saviour see!
Haste to that heavenly home with me!
