1 On Jerus’lem’s holy mountain he has founded his abode. 2 More than all of Jacob’s dwellings Zion’s gates are dear to God.
3 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of the LORD: 4 “Many drawn from all the nations as your people I record.
“I will name as those who know me Egypt, Tyre and Babylon; Philistine along with Cushite I will count as Zion-born.”
5 Yes, it will be said of Zion, “This and that one here belong; And on her the Highest’s blessing will descend, and make her strong.”
6 “Born in Zion,” God will enter in the peoples’ register. 7 They will sing, as they make music, “All my fountains are in her.”
You can hear a Free Church of Scotland congregation sing this to the tune Sussex here.
