996. Beautiful Zion, built above

1 Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful city that I love,
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple, God its light,

2 Beautiful trees forever there,
Beautiful fruit they always bear,
Beautiful rivers gliding by,
Beautiful fountains never dry,

3 Beautiful light without the sun,
Beautiful day revolving on,
Beautiful worlds on worlds untold,
Beautiful streets of shining gold,

4 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show,
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there,

5 Beautiful throne of God, the Lamb,
Beautiful seats at his right hand,
Beautiful rest, all wanderings cease,
Beautiful home of perfect peace.
