The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#27

27. O Sion, Sion

1 There is a habitation,
Built by the living God,
For all of every nation,
Who seek that grand abode.

Refrain:
O Sion, Sion,
I long thy gates to see;
O Sion, Sion,
When shall I dwell in thee?

2 A city with foundations
Firm as th'eternal throne;
Nor wars, nor desolation
Shall ever move a stone. [Refrain]

3 No night is there, no sorrow,
No death and no decay;
No yesterday, no morrow—
But one eternal day. [Refrain]

4 Within its pearly portals
Angelic armies sing,
With glorified immortals,
The praises of its King. [Refrain]
